The problem
ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES BUILT WITH CUMMINS ISX 600 HP ENGINES, THE STRAPS THAT HOLD THE U-JOINTS ONTO THE REAR END AND THE TRANSMISSION CAN LOOSEN. THE LOCK WASHER ON THE STRAPS CAN SPREAD OUT AND ALLOW THE MOUNTING BOLTS TO WORK LOOSE. THIS CAN ALLOW THE DRIVELINE TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND FALL OFF THE MOTOR HOME.
Risk
LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MAY OCCUR, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE U-JOINT STRAPS, BOLTS, AND LOCK WASHERS WITH NEW STRAPS, AND BOLTS WITH LOCKTITE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MONACO AT 800-685-6545.
