What’s wrong with it?
IF THE DRAG LINK WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE PITMAN ARM, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT HAVE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH.
MONACO IS RECALLING 202 MY 2006 MONARCH SE, MY 2009 RIPTIDE, MY 2006 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ADMIRAL SE, MY 2007-2009 ARISTA, MY 2007-2009 SAFARI PASSAGE, MY 2006 SIMBA AND TREK GAS, AND MY 2006-2007 R-VISION TRAIL-LITE AND TRAIL-AIRE MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON WORKHORSE CHASSIS.
THE CASTLE NUT THAT RETAINS THE STEERING DRAG LINK TO THE PITMAN ARM MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TORQUED DURING ASSEMBLY.
THE IMPROPER TORQUE MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE CASTLE NUT AND COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE CONNECTION.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
