- The problem
- 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.
- The risk
- 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.
- The fix
- 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.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
While driving my 2007 itasca sunrise ford chassis at speeds of 60 mph I felt an intermittent shimmy in the steering column. I heard a small squeal sound that went away. After driving I noticed that the right wheel was rather warm. I thought it was the brake grabbing the rotor. I took the rv to the closest rv repair shop. Once on the rv lift, the service technician stated that I was lucky to be alive as the only thing holding the wheel on was the brake assembly. The service technician took off the wheel to discover...
Read the full complaint
the wheel bearing was very loose. He removed the brake assembly, then removed the hub cover, cotter pin and castellated nut to discover the outer race had no grease on it due to an oversight of the manufacturer. The inner race had grease and was intact. The technician stated that I was luck to be alive and that the bearing had welded itself to the spindle at odometer reading of 22,529 miles. This was highly unusual according to the service technician. Pictures were taken. When calling ford customer service they did not want to deal with the issue at the customer service level after repeated chat and phone call attempts. I asked the ford motor company for an email to send the pictures to them and they stated they had no email. I asked for the safety department number and the customer representative stated they had no safety department!
