Tredit tire, monaco coach's supplier of tire and wheel assemblies, had investigated the reasons for the cracked and broken wheels, determined the causes, and notified monaco and odi (05e-051) of their findings.in response to odi's inquiries in investigation pe05-026, monaco coach has informed odi that some wheels installed in model year 2003, 2004, and 2005 vehicles that are not currently addressed by campaign 05v-418 have also been reported cracked, broken, and/or leaking.
