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.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:furnace
Problem: Winnebago is recalling model year 2007-2008 access, aspect, sighteer and vista, model year 2007-2008 itasca impulse, cambria, sunova, and sunstar, model year 2009-2010 winnebago access, sightseer and vista, model year 2009-2010 itasca impulse, sunova, and sunstar motor homes. These motor homes may have a missing stove partition that isolates the furnace air.
Risk: If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and partition is missing, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
Fix: Dealers will correct this situation by installing a stove partition that isolates the stove from the furnace return air at no charge to the owner. The recall began on september 30, 2009. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
Steering:gear box:shaft pitman
Problem: Winnebago is recalling 717 my 2006-2009 sightseer and vista, itasca sunova and sunstar motor homes built on workhorse chassis. The castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection.
Risk: If the drag link were to separate from the pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.
Fix: Winnebago is working with workhorse to replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm (please see 08v442). Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-946-7731 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
Electrical system:12v/24v/48v battery
Problem: On certain motor homes, if the battery boost switch is engaged while the engine is operating, the engine may shut down.
Risk: This could cause loss of driver control increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a diode wire assembly on the auxiliary start solenoid. The recall began on may 11, 2007. Owners can contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
