Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 winnebago and itasca motor homes built on a ford f-53 chassis. The âprndlâ cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the âprndlâ display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
Risk: An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the âprndlâ cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 2, 2012. Owners may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.
Equipment
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Fix: Winnebago is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began during december 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
