Equipment adaptive/mobilityAug 12, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V419000 · 31 vehicles

Problem: Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 itasca cambria, horizon, winnebago access, adventurer, journey, minnie winnie, signtseer, tour, vectra, and voyage motor homes equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.

Risk: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.

Fix: Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Steering:hydraulic power assist systemMay 19, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V223000 · 1,699 vehicles

Problem: Winnebago is recalling 1,699 my 2005-2009 winnebago journey, tour and itasca meridian and ellipse motor homes built on the freightliner xc chassis. The chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.

Risk: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Steering:linkages:tie rod assemblyMay 19, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V226000 · 306 vehicles

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.

Equipment adaptive/mobilityMar 28, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V149000 · 31 vehicles

Problem: Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 journey, voyage, my 2006-2007 sightseer, my 2006 adventurer, minnie winnie, my 2007 access, tour, vectra, itasca cambria, and my 2007-2008 itasca horizon motor homes equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.

Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.

Fix: Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07e095). The recall began on april 9, 2008. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

Engine and engine cooling:engine:dieselAug 29, 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V390000 · 108 vehicles

Problem: On certain motor homes built with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.

Risk: If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, spilling oil and debris onto the roadway increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Winnebago is working with cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard. Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (please see 07e033). Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
