Manufacturer’s Name: MONACO COACH CORPORATION
Component Description: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Summary Description: Monaco RV Recalls Responsiiblity
Summary
NHTSA opened this investigation to review issues in connection with recalls initiated by Monaco Coach Corporation (Monaco Coach), which later filed bankruptcy. Navistar, Inc. (Navistar
) purchased assets of the bankrupt Monaco Coach and disclaimed responsibility for the Monaco Coach recalls. Since the time this investigation was opened, the law has substantially changed to better ensure that consumers are protected from safety defects or noncompliances in a bankrupt manufacturer?s products. These legal changes address the underlying concerns that led to agency to open this investigation. Specially, Congress twice amended the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Safety Act) to address recall obligations in connection with a bankruptcy. Section 31313 of the MAP-21 Act added a new section 30120A to Chapter 301 of Title 49, United States Code, which specifies that a manufacturer's filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition ?does not negate the manufacturer's duty? to comply with specified provisions of the Safety Act, including the recall provisions in 49 U.S.C. ?? 30118-30120. Section 24106 of the FAST Act expanded the scope of this new provision to also cover Chapter 7 bankruptcies. Pursuant to these amendments, the Safety Act specifies that a manufacturer?s recall obligations ?shall be treated as a claim of the United States Government against such manufacturer . . . , and given priority.? In 2013, NHTSA also amended its regulation on safety recalls to add a new section 49 C.F.R. ? 573.16 that requires a manufacturer to report filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition to the agency within 5 working days. This requirement better enables NHTSA to assert claims in bankruptcy proceedings and otherwise work to proactively resolve issues in connection with a manufacturer?s bankruptcy.This investigation is closed.

will offer a free remedy provided the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu
service facility or a Honda
dealer (as applicable) no later than twelve (12) months after the date of mailing of the notification letter to the owner.The report describes a condition where vehicles operated in states using certain road deicing materials may exhibit excessive corrosion which may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame.According to Isuzu
a detached lower link may affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed complaint data and found that 114 of the 115 (99%) alleged complete lower link separations from the frame occurred in vehicles originally sold or operated in a state covered by the recall. Of these complaints 2 involved alleged crashes and 21 involved alleged loss of control incidents.The alleged crashes and loss of control incidents all occurred in vehicles operated in a state covered by the safety recall.Isuzu
's recall instructs dealers to inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area to determine if corrosion is present.For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the lower link bracket area and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed.For vehicles with no visible signs of corrosion, dealers with apply anti-corrosion material to reduce the likelihood of corrosion developing in the future. Based on Isuzu
's safety recall, this Engineering Analysis is closed.A copy of the recall may be assessed on NHTSA's website using the reference number above.
