What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION TAG ON BOTH 36' AND 38' MODELS WAS INCORRECT. THE INITIAL TAG SHOWS THE PSI AS 90 LBS. FRONT AND 100 LBS. REAR. THE CORRECT PSI IS 105 FRONT AND 115 REAR. ALSO, THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION TAG ON CERTAIN UNITS INCORRECTLY STATES THAT THE UNIT WAS BUILT WITH A TAG AXLE.
What can happen
DRIVING THE MOTOR HOME WITH UNDER/OVER INFLATED TIRES CAN CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SUDDEN BLOWOUT OR OTHER FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTOR HOME.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECT FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION TAG AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN OCTOBER 24, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD 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.
