Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2008 destination and latitude motor homes built on workhouse custom chassis. The fuel fill cap assemblies used to seal the unused fuel tank inlet where produced with an incorrect hose material.
Risk: A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire which may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Fix: Navistar/workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see navistar/workhorse's defect report 10v-348. Navistar/workhorse will replace the original fuel-fill cap assemblies with ones assembled with hose material that meets design specifications. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
Suspension
Problem: Winnebago is recalling 594 my 2008-2009 destination, journey, tour, vectra, and itasca latitude, meridian, ellipse, and horizon motor homes equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
Risk: If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
Fix: Winnebago is working with daimler trucks/saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08v269 and 08e031). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
Steering:linkages:tie rod assembly
Problem: Winnebago is recalling 306 my 2007-2008 journey, destination, tour and itasca meridian, latitude, and ellipse motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under-tightened.
Risk: Incorrectly tightened steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.
Fix: Winnebago is working with freightliner to repair these vehicles free of charge (please see 07v306). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
