2007 Monaco Coach Monarch recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Monaco is recalling 811 Monarch, lapalma rear gas and lapalma diesel, holiday rambler admiral, vacationer rear gas and vacationer diesel and safari simba motor homes with the inverter option. The optional inverter is not protected by a fuse as the result of a production error. The fuse should be installed in the battery compartment in the rear of the passenger side of the motor home between the battery source and the inverter. The inverter is to be a protected appliance by code requirement.
💥 The risk
With no fuse installed, a vehicle fire may result from failure of the inverter.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a 125AMP fuse to protect the inverter free of charge. The recall began on august 19, 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.)
