What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorhomes, the I-beam leaf imitator in the front axle suspension could crack and break due to an inadequate welding process.

Possible consequence

The I-beams on the front axle and the panard bracket on the rear axle could crack and break causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the original I-beam. Also, dealers will weld the stiffeners from the panard bar bracket to the center differential of the rear axle housing. Owner notification began march 1, 2004. Owners should contact monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
