Winnebago entered motor home production in 1966 with well built full sized RVs, selling at approximately half the price of competitor vehicles. leading to its dominance of the RV market sector.Through the 1970s and into the 1980s model names were influenced by the Native American tribe of the same name and included the Brave, the Indian, the Chieftain, and the Warrior. Older Winnebago RVs are often recognizable by the painted "w" (also called the "flying W") on the side of the vehicle, with a stripe that connects the front and back of the camper.
In 1973, the company introduced a new model, the Minnie Winnie, built on the Dodge B-series van chassis. It was about 19-1/2 feet (5.9 m) long (despite the name, longer than the shortest contemporary Brave model). Longer models were added through the years

The Tour range was based on a Freightliner Custom Chassis, the 42QD is a 43 foot RVand has a wheel cut of 60 degrees, with three slide outs, one being a full wall. It is powered by Cummins 450BHP engine and coupled to the Allison 6 speed transmission.

DEFECT #1 - STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM


Posted on: 2008-05-19
Description
Winnebago is recalling 1,699 my 2005-2009 winnebago journey, tour and itasca meridian and ellipse motor homes built on the freightliner xc chassis.  The chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.

Consequence
Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570).  Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
