Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: 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: 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: 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.

Defect, as filed: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 winnebago vectra and itasc horizon motor homes manufactured between november 2006 and may 2009, equipped with kongsberg automotive adjustable brake pedals. The adjustable brake pedal arm may loosen allowing the arm to rotate around its shaft and swing in front of the accelerator pedal, reducing braking function.
Consequence: A loose brake pedal increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Winnebago is working with freightliner to notify owners. Repairs will be conducted by freightliner free of charge. The safety recall began during february 2010. Owners may contact daimler trucks warranty campaigns department at 1-800-647-0712.

Defect, as filed: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
