    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.

    Seat Belts

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 winnebago sightseer and itasca sunova motor homes because the dinette area seat belt restraints on those vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." in a collision, the generated crash forces can cause the restraint's attachment to tear and allow the anchor to separate from the body of the vehicle.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death to the occupant.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Winnebago will notify owners a dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on december 10, 2010. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

These motor homes may have a missing stove partition that isolates the furnace air.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
