Each recall: problem, risk and fix
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility (15V749000, 2015-11-12)
Problem: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling one model year 2008 Aspect, one model year 2010 Vista and one model year 2012 Vista recreational vehicle, each equipped with wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon. The affected lifts are equipped with folding link arms that may have pivot holes that are too big, allowing the bearings to move out of position.
Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Free fix: Winnebago will notify owners to contact Ricon and dealers can inspect the link arms for damage or for displaced bearings. The platform will be inspected for cracks. Any damaged parts will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on November 17, 2015. Owners may contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884. Note: These vehicles and wheelchair lifts were subject to a similar recall in 2014. All vehicles that received that recall remedy are still affected by this recall as well.
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility (14V586000, 2014-09-23)
Problem: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling one model year 2008 Aspect WF726A coach, one model year 2010 Vista WFE32K coach and one model year 2012 Vista WFE36D coach. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, or S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
Risk: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Free fix: Winnebago will notify owners to take the coaches to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885.
Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/Trailer › Lpg Systems › Lines And Fittings (12V389000, 2012-08-08)
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Winnebago and Itasca motor homes. A cutting machine may have scored the copper propane tubing resulting in unknown long-term reliability.
Risk: If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Free fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the copper tubing, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2012. Owners may contact Winnebago Industries Owner Relations at 1-641-585-6939.
Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Gear Position Indication (Prndl) (12V057000, 2012-02-16)
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 winnebago and itasca motor homes built on a ford f-53 chassis. The âprndlâ cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the âprndlâ display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
Risk: An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the âprndlâ cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 2, 2012. Owners may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.
