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.

Posted on: 2011-03-09
Description
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 tour and itasca ellipse motor homes manufactured from august 9, 2010 through january 21, 2011.  These vehicles have the potential for a lp hose connection to be damaged when the slideout room is operated.  If the lp hose makes contact with the slideout ram, it could be disconnected.  If this were to happen, a leak would occur when the lp tank is opened.

Consequence
The leaking lp then has the potential to ignite, which could result in personal injury or death.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the hose and relocate a pipe clamp as well as adding a second clamp to the hose to ensure clearance is maintained during the operation of the slideroom.  This service will be performed free of charge.  The safety recall began on march 25, 2011.  Owner may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.

DEFECT #3 - 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.

DEFECT #4 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Posted on: 2011-10-27
Description
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 journey, meridian, tour, ellipse motor homes and winnebago commercial vehicles built on mc, xcl, and xcs chassis from september 1, 2010, through december 31, 2010, and equipped with a cummins isx or isl diesel engine.  The v-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load.  A fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/dpf housing to disconnect.

Consequence
If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire.  If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.

Corrective Action
Winnebago is working with daimler trucks north america (the supplier of the chassis) and cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign.  The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan for this campaign.  The safety recall began october 10, 2011.  Owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000.

Notes
Cummins' recall campaign number is c1154.owners 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 .
