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:COLUMN

Posted on: 2005-11-01
Description
On certain motor homes, the cinch bolt, where the steering column connects to the intermediate shaft, was improperly tightened.  This could result in the bolt threads being stripped, conceivably not providing a tight joint.

Consequence
If the joint is loose, the intermediate shaft has the potential to slip off the spline shaft of the steering column causing loss of steering control.  This could result in personal injury or vehicle and property damage.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect and replace the cinch bolt and nut.  The recall began november 4, 2005.  Owners may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.

Notes
Winnebago recall no.  98.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

DEFECT #2 - STRUCTURE:BODY

Posted on: 2005-12-30
Description
On certain motor homes equipped with kwikee brand electric steps, the steps may have been manufactured with defective step control units.

Consequence
The defective control units could develop an electrical short allowing for the potential of the plastic case to ignite, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the kwikee step and replace the step control unit, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on december 23, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

DEFECT #3 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

Posted on: 2007-08-29
Description
On certain motor homes built with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.

Consequence
If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, spilling oil and debris onto the roadway increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Winnebago is working with cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard.  Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (please see 07e033).  Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.

DEFECT #4 - 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.

DEFECT #5 - EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE

Posted on: 2008-08-21
Description
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.

Consequence
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.

Corrective Action
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.
