- The problem
- Winnebago Industries Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Aspect and Itasca Cambria (models 730C and 730J) motorhomes, manufactured March 12, 2012, through May 31, 2013. The child seat tether is mounted in an improper position.
- The risk
- This improper position does not allow the child seat to be used properly and in the event of a crash, it will not allow the child seat to properly protect the occupant which increases the risk of injury.
- The fix
- Winnebago will notify owners and dealers will remove the child tether, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2013. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885 or [email protected]. Winnebago's campaign number is 130.

If the awning installation sequence was not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowningly become damaged. A damaged motor may lead to an unfurling of the awning.
- The risk
- If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Winnebago will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a design that is not subject to an out-of-sequence installation error. The recall began on July 17, 2013.

The affected vehicles were manufactured January 10, 2012, through April 5, 2013 and may be missing a range enclosure.
- The risk

- The fix
- Winnebago notify owners and dealers will install a range enclosure, free of charge. The safety recall began on May 20, 2013. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-641-585-3535. Winnebago's recall campaign number is 128.
