- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
- The fix
- 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.

2006 Itasca Cambria recalls 4
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- On certain motorhomes,the flame on the cooking range may be forced downward over the burner or flame outage may occur when the cooking range and furnace are operated at the same time. This is due to the possibility of a missing or incomplete cabinet panel that isolates the furnace return air.
- The risk
- If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and the cabinet panel is missing or incomplete, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury, vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the cabinet assembly and, if the cabinent panel is missing or incomplete, the panel will be installed or repaired. The recall began on august 10, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
- The problem
- On certain motor homes equipped with kwikee brand electric steps, the steps may have been manufactured with defective step control units.
- The risk
- The defective control units could develop an electrical short allowing for the potential of the plastic case to ignite, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the kwikee step and replace the step control unit, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on december 23, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
- The problem
- On certain motor homes built on ford chassis, the fasteners holding the fuel tank mounting straps may not have been properly tightened, allowing the possibility for the fuel tank to loosen and fall.
- The risk
- If the fuel tank falls, there is the potential for the tank to ignite, resulting in personal injury, vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and properly tighten the fasteners to the fuel tank straps. The recall began on october 15, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 614-585-6939.
