2007–2008 Holiday Rambler Arista & 2007–2008 Safari Coach Passage recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain class a motor homes built on ford chassis, the front run panel has an exposed terminal post on its side which allows the oil dipstick to potentially make contact when checking the oil level. The location of the exposed terminal post is under the front engine access hood.
💥 The risk
When the oil level is checked, it may be possible for the dipstick to contact the exposed wire terminal stud and if other end of the dipstick is grounded, this could result in an electrical shock or a spark which could create a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the wire from the terminal and install boot covers, then reinstall the wire and slip cover over the connection. The recall began on march 3, 2008. Owners may 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.)
