Recall 07V-582: 2007–2008 Holiday Rambler Arista, 2007–2008 Safari Coach Passage
MONACO COACH CORPORATION recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Dec 14, 2007, covering about 125 vehicles.
The problem
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.
