The problem
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2011 holiday rambler trip and monaco vesta recreational vehicles manufactured from february 25, 2010, through april 4, 2011, and equipped with a maxxforce 7 engine. A cap on the return fuel valve may fall off allowing air to be drawn into the fuel system possibly resulting in engine hard start, no start, or stall conditions.
The risk
Engine stall on the roadway increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the return fuel valve cap, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about august 12, 2011. Owners may contact navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
