DEFECT #2 - TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
Posted on: 2015-01-12
Description
Winnebago industries, inc. (winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 winnebago trend, travato, and itasca viva motorhomes manufactured november 13, 2013, to december 23, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 138, tire pressure monitoring systems.
Consequence
If the tpms light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Winnebago will have chrysler notify owners, and dealers will update the tpms module software, free of charge. The recall began december 8, 2014. Owners may contact winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is p62.
