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 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Posted on: 2012-12-10
Description
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.

Consequence
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.

Corrective Action
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.
