Has your Safari been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Safari dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1999 Safari Zanzibar recalls, newest first

May 8, 2003NHTSA 03V166000

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
On certain motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 1200LR and 1200RIM, these refrigerators can experience low cycle fatigue failure which can lead to the liquid solution slowly leaking from the sealed, pressurized cooling unit through a small crack.
Consequence
If a leak occurs and the unit is continually operated, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement cooling unit free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005 or monaco at 574-862-7211.

April 17, 2001NHTSA 01V1300011,438 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Antilock

Summary
Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with meritor wabco phase 1, d-version antilock brake system (ABS), fail to comply to the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." an internal diagnostic system in the ABS may not detect an extreme wheel speed sensor air gap. Such a condition could possibly occur during (1) original assembly or (2) subsequent wheel end service.
Consequence
This could disable the anti-lock function on the affected wheel without providing the required operator warning that the ABS function requires servicing.
Remedy
The ABS ECU will be removed and replaced on these motor homes. Meritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy scheduling for this campaign. Owner notification is expected to begin during April/may 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact meritor wabco at 1-800-535-5560.

Summary
Vehicle description: 1999 and 2000 motor homes manufactured between April 2 and November 20, 1999, and equipped with ABS systems with brake wiring harness part #2505168. The electrical connector which connects to the modulator was mis-wired causing the anti-lock brake modulator to react improperly while regulating hydraulic pressure to the appropriate wheel.
Consequence
