The problem
On certain motor homes, the taillight socket could fail and cause the taillight housing to melt.
The risk
If the taillight housing melted, it could leave the motor home without brake lights and taillights, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new taillight socket and connector. Owner notification began january 10, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
