TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MONACO COACH KNIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WELD WAS 3/4 OF THE WAY CRACKED AND RUSTY FOR A LONG TIME. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE MOTORHOME STARTED TO SWAY EVERY TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE MOTORHOME WAS TAKEN TO A CHASSIS REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR TRAILING ARM FAILED AT THE WELD AND BOTH TRAILING ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MOTORHOME WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE MOTORHOME WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V038000 (SUSPENSION). THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.
AS I PULLED OUT OF THE CAMPGROUND, THE TRAILING ARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE ALLOWING THE REAR AXLE TO SLIP FORCING THE MOTORHOME TO VEER SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTAL LOSE OF CONTROL. AFTER SEARCHING MONACO BLOGS, I FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT MONACO HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. *TR
