Each recall: problem, risk and fix
Electrical System (12V566000, 2012-12-06)
Problem: Winnebago Industries is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Winnebago Journey and Tour motorhomes, and certain model year 2010-2013 Itasca Meridian and Ellipse motorhomes, manufactured June 18, 2010, through November 17, 2011. The chassis are equipped with connectors for diode jumpers that may come loose, resulting in an open circuit. Two circuits are affected: The one that disengages the cruise control with brake pedal use, and the one that illuminates the brake lights with brake pedal use.
Risk: Failure of the cruise control to disengage when the brakes are applied may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Without the brake lights illuminating when the brakes are applied, the driver's intent is not communicated, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Daimler Trucks North America will be conducting the recall on behalf of Winnebago Industries. Daimler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the the diode jumpers to make sure they are fully locked in place and will correct the vehicles as needed. The recall began December 26, 2012. Owners should contact Winnebago at 1-641-585-3535 or Daimler Trucks at 1-503-745-6910.
Engine And Engine Cooling (11V520000, 2011-10-20)
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 journey, meridian, tour, ellipse motor homes and winnebago commercial vehicles built on mc, xcl, and xcs chassis from september 1, 2010, through december 31, 2010, and equipped with a cummins isx or isl diesel engine. The v-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/dpf housing to disconnect.
Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Free fix: Winnebago is working with daimler trucks north america (the supplier of the chassis) and cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan for this campaign. The safety recall began october 10, 2011. Owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000.
Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/Trailer › Lpg Systems › Tank Assembly (11V156000, 2011-03-08)
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 tour and itasca ellipse motor homes manufactured from august 9, 2010 through january 21, 2011. These vehicles have the potential for a lp hose connection to be damaged when the slideout room is operated. If the lp hose makes contact with the slideout ram, it could be disconnected. If this were to happen, a leak would occur when the lp tank is opened.
Risk: The leaking lp then has the potential to ignite, which could result in personal injury or death.
Free fix: Dealers will inspect the hose and relocate a pipe clamp as well as adding a second clamp to the hose to ensure clearance is maintained during the operation of the slideroom. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 25, 2011. Owner may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.
Equipment › Other › Labels (11V096000, 2011-02-14)

The vehicles are equipped with labels indicating the wrong type of load range tires.
Risk: These vehicles do not comply with the requirements of part 567 certification.
Free fix: Owners will be provided with new tire information labels and installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for them. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on february 25, 2011. Owner may contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
