⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorhomes, the I-beam leaf imitator in the front axle suspension could crack and break due to an inadequate welding process.

🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the original I-beam. Also, dealers will weld the stiffeners from the panard bar bracket to the center differential of the rear axle housing. Owner notification began march 1, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
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.)
