Recalls for 2009 Winnebago Era

DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

Posted on: 2008-05-14
Description
Winnebago is recalling 114 my 2008 view, my 2009 era, and my 2008 itasca navion class c motor homes built on sprinter chassis and equipped with 3.0l diesel engines.  The crankshaft sensor in certain diesel engines could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor.  

Consequence
This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.  When this happens, affected vehicles may lose power.  This could result in the vehicle becoming immediately inoperable increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Sprinter is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 07v594).  Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor free of charge.  Owners may contact sprinter at 1-800-992-1997 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.
