Plain-English summary

Navistar, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Beaver, Holiday Rambler, and Monaco Coach brand recreational vehicles manufactured between January 11, 2008, and April 15, 2011. The recall involves 630 vehicles, including specific models such as the Contessa, Dynasty, Marquis, and Patriot.

The defect involves the front windshield shade, which may separate from the cabin body without warning. This separation could impair the driver's ability to see the roadway, potentially causing a vehicle crash that results in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Navistar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the shade mounting clips and repair the vehicles as necessary free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on December 10, 2011. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-877-466-6226 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
