| Nhtsa recall 12v060000 was issued for defective electrical transfer switches manufactured by iota engineering (an existing company). navistar on behalf of monaco rv was named responsible for correcting this defect. monaco coach (a defunct company acquired by navistar) installed these same transfer switches in like model motor homes prior to their failure. for those of us with these defective switches installed by monaco coach and not monaco rv we are not being provided any protection by the nhtsa for a known problem. why hasn | |||
