The 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.
The risk
If the lp line was to leak and a spark occurs, this could lead a fire or explosion.
The 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.
