    Electrical System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Winnebago Industries is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Winnebago Journey and Tour motorhomes, and certain model year 2010-2013 Itasca Meridian and Ellipse motorhomes, manufactured June 18, 2010, through November 17, 2011. The chassis are equipped with connectors for diode jumpers that may come loose, resulting in an open circuit. Two circuits are affected: The one that disengages the cruise control with brake pedal use, and the one that illuminates the brake lights with brake pedal use.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Failure of the cruise control to disengage when the brakes are applied may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Without the brake lights illuminating when the brakes are applied, the driver's intent is not communicated, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Daimler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the the diode jumpers to make sure they are fully locked in place and will correct the vehicles as needed. The recall began December 26, 2012.

    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer / LPG Systems / Tank Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 tour and itasca ellipse motor homes manufactured from august 9, 2010 through january 21, 2011. These vehicles have the potential for a lp hose connection to be damaged when the slideout room is operated. If the lp hose makes contact with the slideout ram, it could be disconnected. If this were to happen, a leak would occur when the lp tank is opened.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The leaking lp then has the potential to ignite, which could result in personal injury or death.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the hose and relocate a pipe clamp as well as adding a second clamp to the hose to ensure clearance is maintained during the operation of the slideroom. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 25, 2011. Owner may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.

    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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.
