   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Winnebago has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2008-2009 motorhomes fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Winnebago is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on july 6, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or by email at www.dmata@wabtec.com.

2. 08V573000Received 30 Oct 2008. 594 units.

   Suspension

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   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.

3. 08V419000Received 12 Aug 2008. 31 units.

   Equipment Adaptive/Mobility

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

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

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number 120.

4. 08V223000Received 19 May 2008. 1,699 units.

   Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist System

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

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

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

5. 08V226000Received 19 May 2008. 306 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Incorrectly tightened steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.
