Risk markers carried in the record

No park-it or park-outside warning is flagged in this vehicle's collected record. This does not establish that the vehicle is defect-free or that every notice is included.

The markers above summarize fields available in this dataset. A missing marker is not a safety finding. Recall status and remedy eligibility can depend on vehicle identification number, equipment, production date, and whether a repair has already been completed.

Recall distribution by component

3 component categories

Counts and shares use the vehicle-level recall records shown below. The horizontal bar is scaled to the largest category on this page.
ComponentCampaignsShareRelative volume
STEERING133.3%
EQUIPMENT133.3%
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING133.3%

Component labels follow the source record's component field. Where the source includes a more detailed subcomponent after a colon, this distribution groups the record under the first component segment. Shares are calculated against 3 campaigns and rounded to one decimal place, so displayed percentages may not sum to exactly 100 percent.

Recall dates by calendar year

2 calendar years

These are recall notice dates, not vehicle model years.

The timeline groups campaign records by their reported recall date. This explains why the date range (2007–2008) can begin before or end after model year 2008. The underlying vehicle may be covered by notices issued in several different calendar years.

Summary
MONACO IS RECALLING 202 MY 2006 MONARCH SE, MY 2009 RIPTIDE, MY 2006 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ADMIRAL SE, MY 2007-2009 ARISTA, MY 2007-2009 SAFARI PASSAGE, MY 2006 SIMBA AND TREK GAS, AND MY 2006-2007 R-VISION TRAIL-LITE AND TRAIL-AIRE MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE CASTLE NUT THAT RETAINS THE STEERING DRAG LINK TO THE PITMAN ARM MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TORQUED DURING ASSEMBLY. THE IMPROPER TORQUE MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE CASTLE NUT AND COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONNECTION.

Consequence
IF THE DRAG LINK WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE PITMAN ARM, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT HAVE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH.

Remedy
MONACO IS WORKING WITH WORKHORSE TO REPLACE AND PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE CASTLE NUT THAT RETAINS THE STEERING DRAG LINK TO THE PITMAN ARM (PLEASE SEE 08V442). OWNERS MAY CONTACT WORKHORSE AT 1-877-946-7731 OR MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

Summary
ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FORD CHASSIS, THE FRONT RUN PANEL HAS AN EXPOSED TERMINAL POST ON ITS SIDE WHICH ALLOWS THE OIL DIPSTICK TO POTENTIALLY MAKE CONTACT WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL. THE LOCATION OF THE EXPOSED TERMINAL POST IS UNDER THE FRONT ENGINE ACCESS HOOD.

Consequence
WHEN THE OIL LEVEL IS CHECKED, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE DIPSTICK TO CONTACT THE EXPOSED WIRE TERMINAL STUD AND IF OTHER END OF THE DIPSTICK IS GROUNDED, THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR A SPARK WHICH COULD CREATE A FIRE.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE WIRE FROM THE TERMINAL AND INSTALL BOOT COVERS, THEN REINSTALL THE WIRE AND SLIP COVER OVER THE CONNECTION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 3, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

This comparison is calculated from vehicle records for the same make and model year in this snapshot. It is a simple arithmetic average, not an industry benchmark. A model may appear under more than one configuration in the source data, and campaign counts do not indicate the probability that a specific vehicle has an unresolved defect.

Data source and interpretation

NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, retrieved 2026-11-01. Recall records reflect manufacturer reports submitted to NHTSA. Absence of a recall here does not mean a vehicle is defect-free.

This page reports 3 campaign records, groups them into 3 component categories, and places the notice dates into these calendar years: 2007: 1; 2008: 2. These are derived views of the supplied records, not additional findings from NHTSA.

The collection includes model-year records with one or more recalls. It is not a complete vehicle history, VIN eligibility result, repair-status check, safety rating, or guarantee that the source has no later updates. Confirm current campaign details and vehicle applicability with official NHTSA information and the manufacturer.
