What is wrong
MONACO IS RECALLING 22 MY 2009 ALUMASCAPE FIFTH WHEEL, ALUMASCAPE SUITE AND PRESIDENTIAL TRAVEL TRAILERS. THESE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." WHEN TIRES WERE CHANGED ON THESE VEHICLES, THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABEL WAS PRINTED WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION. THE TIRE INFLATION IS LISTED AS 80 PSI WHEN THE CORRECT PRESSURE SHOULD BE 65 PSI.
What can happen
OVER INFLATED TIRES COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE; POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SUDDEN BLOWOUT OR OTHER FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE UNIT INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL MAIL CONSUMERS THE CORRECTED LABELS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. CUSTOMERS WILL HAVE THE OPTION FOR DEALERS TO INSTALL THE LABEL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 7, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 1-800-685-6545.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
