2008 Holiday Rambler Arista recalls
Recall 08V-578: Steering
Problem: Monaco is recalling 202 my 2006 monarch se, my 2009 riptide, my 2006 holiday rambler admiral se, my 2007-2009 arista, my 2007-2009 safari passage, my 2006 simba and trek gas, and my 2006-2007 r-vision trail-lite and trail-aire motor homes built on workhorse chassis. The castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection.
Risk: If the drag link were to separate from the pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.
Fix: Monaco is working with workhorse to replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm (Please see 08v442). Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-946-7731 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Recall 08V-298: Equipment
Problem: Monaco is recalling 152 my 2006-2008 holiday rambler arista, atlantis, and safari passage and ivory motor homes. There is an error in the routing of the liquid propane (Lp) line from below and through the main floor and the slide-out floor. The LP line can become entangled with the 12 volt and 120 volt wiring which could cause the hose to kink and/or become damaged which could lead to an LP leak.
Risk: If the LP line was to leak and a spark occurs, this could lead a fire or explosion.
Fix: Dealers will install a kit to replace and reroute the LP line free of charge. The recall began on september 3, 2008. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
Recall 07V-582: Engine and Engine Cooling
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.
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.
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.
