Having filed bankruptcy now, no creditor is allowed to file any lawsuits against the company and all its assets are under the ultimate control of the bankruptcy court although for now Monaco is a "debtor in possession" which means they are still running their business but under the protections given by the federal bankruptcy law.
If you own a vehicle manufactured by Monaco or one of its corporations or divisions involved in the bankruptcy, and are still covered by the new vehicle warranty and have defects, you should talk to an attorney before doing anything so you can be sure you understand your rights, remedies and obligations.
