2000–2003 Holiday Rambler Vacationer & 2000–2003 Monaco Coach Lapalma + 5 more recall: body & structure

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain class a motor homes, the floor truss network support system has a potential to weaken causing internal and external features to become misaligned. The affected vehicles are 1999 - 2003 class a motor homes manufactured on F53 20,500 pound gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), ford chassis, and 2000-2003 class a motor homes manufactured on W-22 22,000 pound gvwr, workhorse chassis.

💥 The risk

Conditions CAN result in the bottoming out the suspension and amplification of the stress placed on the floor truss network. The additional stress CAN result in the fracture of welds securing the floor truss network system to the chassis frame rail and/or fracture of the floor truss network support system. The possibility exists that there could be damage to electrical wiring and/or fuel lines which could potentially lead to a fire.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect the floor truss network support system, reinforce the existing structure, and repair, as needed, the floor truss network support. Owner notification began november 5, 2002. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

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.)
