The problem
On certain motor homes equipped with front overhead televisions, incorrect fasteners were used to secure the television located in the front overhead area of the motor home.
The risk
The television may become loose and possibly fall from its position which has the potential to impact the driver or passengers, resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the vehicle to assure the correct fasteners (bolts) were used in the tv retention strap. The recall began on december 15, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
