NHTSA recall 05V053000
Suspension · MONACO COACH CORPORATION
Details
What's wrong: On certain class a motor homes, the spacer plate under the trailing arms had a transverse weld which creates a heat riser and cause the trailing arms to crack.
Why it matters: This could create rough driving conditions and damage to rear suspension system. The driver could loose control of the motorhome and a crash could occur without prior notice.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the replace the trailing arms for cracks and replacing the trailing arms and u-bolts in the rear suspension of the motorhomes free of charge. The recall began on March 29, 2005.
