Are 2007 Monacos subject to Radiator Failure?
Country Coach was plagued with radiator failures in many of their coaches a few years back, and I lost a radiator in a 2002 Endeavor as well. They were aluminum, built by an outfit in Sacramento, CA ...

I don't know if this answers your inquiry; however, here is my experience. I am the original owner of a 2003 Safari Cheetah DP with a CAT 3126E engine and a rear radiator. I went through 3 radiators within the first 12,000 miles until I stood my ground with Monaco and they installed a new brass/copper/steel radiator at their cost. I have now driven over 40,000 miles with the new radiator and no leaks, no cracks etc. Many 2001, 2002, 2003 and some 2004 Monaco rear DP's had radiator problems. Monaco took the position that it was not a safety issue and hence no NTSA recall was ever initiated. All of the faulty radiators were Aluminum and I believe they all came from the same supplier. Most cracked at the corners due to coach flexing and very tight fit. During the period of the problem I spoke with many Monaco coach owners with the same problem and each coach owner had their own battle with Monaco. Some were successful, many not. I have never heard of any other DP coach manufacturer having the same or similar radiator issue(s). Just my opinion.
