2000 Monaco Coach Lapalma recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes produced on ford chassis. As a result of incorrect installation of the gas tank, the gas fill door for filling the gas tank is located within three feet of the water heater. This is in violation of rvia code, section 2.6.3.3.
💥 The risk
Subsequent filling of the gas tank could allow fumes to rise into the water heater possibly resulting in a fire if the water heater is operating on liquid propane gas.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the fuel tank for reversal, replacement of the fender with the incorrect fuel fill, and installation of a new fill assembly on the opposite side fender.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
