2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
13V020000 · Electrical System | Engine And Engine Cooling
Reported: 2013-01-17 (January 17, 2013)
Navistar is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 IC Bus brand model 1300FBC, CE, HC, and RE buses; model year 2011-2013 International brand model Durastar, model year 2013 International brand Workstar trucks; model year 2013 Holiday Rambler brand model Ambassador and Endeavor vehicles; and model year 2013 Monaco brand model Diplomat and Knight vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured August 5, 2010 through September 6, 2012 and are equipped with certain 2011-2013 model year I-6 engines with feature codes 12NUK, 12NUL, 12NUM, 12NUN, 12NUP, 12NUR, 12NUS, 12NUT, 12NUU, 12NUV, 12NUX, 12NUY and 12NUZ. The injection pressure regulator (IPR) harness wire may break due to vibrational damage. This could cause an unexpected shut down of the engine.
Consequence: An unexpected engine shut down while driving may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IPR wire connector free of charge. The safety recall began on March 15, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-800-448-7825.
Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Holiday Rambler Admiral, 2009-2014 Holiday Rambler Ambassador, 2010 Holiday Rambler Arista, 2010-2014 Holiday Rambler Endeavor, 2009-2011 Holiday Rambler Neptune, 2011-2014 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, 2009-2011 Monaco Cayman, 2010-2014 Monaco Diplomat, 2014 Monaco Dynasty, 2009-2014 Monaco Knight, 2012-2013 Monaco LaPalma, 2009-2013 Monaco Monarch, 2009-2011 Monaco Riptide, 2008 Safari Passage, and 2008 Safari Simba motorhomes. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double Electric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps. This bolt may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.
Consequence: Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
Remedy: ARG will notify owners and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2016. Owners may contact ARG customer service number at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 151216REV.

WHEN STOPPED AND EXITING COACH, ENTRY STEPS COLLAPSED TOSSING ME AROUND. THE STEPS WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTERWARDS AND SO I HAD TO PUSH THE STEPS UP AND TIE THEM UP SO WE COULD COMPLETE THE TRIP USING A SHORT LADDER TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE COACH. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THE BOLT HOLDING THE FAN GEAR SHEARED. IT SEEMS IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE NHTSA RECALL 15V872 AT HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHRESULTS?REFURL=EMAIL&SEARCHTYPE=ID&TARGETCATEGORY=R&SEARCHCRITERIA.NHTSA_IDS=15V872 BUT, SO FAR, 1-12-16 : ARG AND MONACO DO NOT…

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
