2008 Winnebago Access recalls 5
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
- Winnebago is recalling model year 2007-2008 access, aspect, sighteer and vista, model year 2007-2008 itasca impulse, cambria, sunova, and sunstar, model year 2009-2010 winnebago access, sightseer and vista, model year 2009-2010 itasca impulse, sunova, and sunstar motor homes. These motor homes may have a missing stove partition that isolates the furnace air.
- The risk
- If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and partition is missing, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will correct this situation by installing a stove partition that isolates the stove from the furnace return air at no charge to the owner. The recall began on september 30, 2009. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
- 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.
- The problem
- Winnebago is recalling certain my 2008-2009 motor homes built on my 2008 ford e450 chassis for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "Tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." The vehicle certification label reflects the incorrect tire pressure.
- The risk
- Failure to follow proper vehicle loading specifications and tire inflation recommendations can result in tire damage and vehicle instability, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with correct vehicle certification labels and installation instructions. A dealer can install this label for owners if they so desire. The recall began on june 27, 2008. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
- The problem
- Winnebago is recalling 35 my 2006-2008 aspect, access, chalet, outlook, and minnie winnie motor homes, and my 2007-2008 itasca cambria motor homes. A poor ground may develop on the daytime running light module that would allow the module to overheat.
- The risk
- This could have the potential to ignite, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the daytime running light module ground wire. The recall began on may 30, 2008. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
