2007 Holiday Rambler Scepter recalls

Recall 08V-098: Equipment

Reported Feb 29, 2008 · 122 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: Monaco is recalling 122 my 2006-2007 camelot and holiday rambler scepter class a motor homes. The rubber liquid propane (Lp) hose on the back of the refrigerator may have extra length of hose. This extra hose should have been pulled back by the main house connection and secured. This extra hose potentially can be damaged by heat from the burner tube if the hose comes in contact with the burner flue.

Risk: If the hose is in contact with the burner flue for an extended period of time, the hose can melt causing an LP leak with the possibility of a fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the refrigerator compartment and for excess LP hose. If the hose is not damaged, it will be secured with a clamp away from the burner flue. If the hose shows any sign of melting or fatigue, it will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on march 20, 2008. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Recall 07V-404: Equipment

Reported Sep 6, 2007 · 630 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with atwood sealed burner ranges, the range and slide-in burner tubes leading from the gas manifold to the burner heads had a depression or 'kink' in the exterior bend restricting proper airflow and gas mixture.

Recall 07V-311: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Jul 20, 2007 · 747 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Problem: On certain motor homes built with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.

Risk: If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, oil and debris on the roadway and vehicle crash.

Fix: Monaco is working with cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard. Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (Please see 07e033). Owners may contact cummins at 800-343-7357 or monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Reported Nov 14, 2006 · 206 vehicles affected · MONACO COACH CORPORATION

Fix: Dealers will install a heat shield between the hydrohot exhaust and the LP tank at no cost to you. The recall began on december 5, 2006. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
