What the defect is
Fifth wheel trailers. The routing of the liquid propane gas (LPG) line was inadvertently installed in the sidewall of the slideout. If the recreational vehicle is operated with the line improperly installed, there is the risk of premature failure due to abrasion, or puncture of the LPG line, which could lead to release of LPG in the recreational vehicle.
What could happen
The release of the LPG inside the vehicle could lead to an explosion in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
What gets fixed
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REFRIGERATOR LPG LINE, AND IF MOUNTED IN THE SLIDEOUT, THE STOVE LPG LINE. THE NEW LINE(S) WILL BE ROUTED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM ACCESSIBLE THE ENTIRE RUN TO THE APPLIANCE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 29, 2001.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 23 January 2001.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.
Manufacturer contact
Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
