| FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL - STORAGE - TANK ASSEMBLY | |||

| (1) the problem occurs when refueling the fuel tank. (2) upon refueling, when the fuel level in the fuel tank approaches the full level, a pulsing noise in the fuel tank starts and fuel starts discharging from the fuel tank's vent with force. the discharge continues as long as the pulsing noise continues. shortly after the pulsing noise stops, the fuel discharge stops. the discharged amount measures from 1/2 pint to 1&1/2 gallons. the frist hazard is environmental pollution from the discharged fuel. but the real hazard is the possible ignition of up to 1&1/2 gallons of fuel discharged on the ground or paving directly underneath a full fuel tank on a 36 foot motor home. this would result in complete distruction of the motor hone, anyone inside the motor home, the fueling station, any motorist at or inside the fueling station and possible anyone passing the fueling station. (3) upon notifying the manufactory of this problem, they say the unit is out of warranty and its my problem. to me, this is a factory defect of the worse kind, brought to the manufactroy's attention before anyone is injuries or any property damaged and they elect to do nothing.. | |||

| I own a 2001 monaco knight which i bought in 2006. we took a trip with our rv on 9/19/2008 and the brakes seized up. this caused the brake pads, rotors, bearings and oil reservoir to fail. while driving i smelled something, so i stopped to find out what the problem was. the wheels were actually smoking, it had not broke out into a fire yet, but i am sure it would have if i kept driving. i searched the web and found recall number 02v278000, monaco's recall number r02175 which described the exact same problem. i called monaco and they told me that the prior owner had the brakes checked and there was nothing wrong with them and there was nothing they could do for me. this motor home has only 20,000 miles and now because of this problem i now have to have the brake pads, rotors, and the internal parts of the front axles replaced, this is not something a vehicle with only 21,000 miles on it should need. this problem is exactly what the original recall was to prevent. i would like to see this recall reissued and hold monaco responsible for the repairs that i believe were never performed under the original recall. *tr | |||
