reportIng Safety DefectS
If you believe that your motorhome has a
defect which could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Monaco Coach. If NHTSA receives
similar complaints, it may open an investigation,
and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a
group of motorhomes, it may order a recall or
remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot
become involved in individual problems between
you, your dealer or Monaco Coach. To contact
NHTSA you may call the Auto Safety Hot line
toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-
9153)
(or 1-202-366-0123 in the Washington
D.C. area), visit their websites at
