The problem
Certain monaco rv model year 2010 travel trailers manufactured between september 26, 2008 and july 31, 2009 fail to conform with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims." The tire and loading information label contains incorrect information which could lead to overloading the vehicle.
The risk
Overloading can result in failure of the frame components, possibly resulting in a sudden tire blowout or other failure which can result in loss of control of the unit and a crash could occur.
The fix
Monaco rv will mail owners a notification letter and a replacement tire and loading label along with instructions for applying the label. The safety recall began on october 14, 2009. Owners may contact monaco rv at 1-800-685-6545.
