How to Fix:
Dealers will inspect the nut and bolt combination. If the improper combination is installed, dealers will replace it with a new nut and bolt. If the combination is correct, dealers will re-torque the existing combination. The recall began on November 21, 2006. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800--685-6545.
