Transport Canada recalls

Lights And Instruments#2024578October 1, 2024
861 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the front turn signal lights may be too small. As a result, the turn signals could be difficult to see, and the motorhomes may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Turn signals that are difficult to see could cause a person not to recognize when a driver intends to turn or change lanes. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Winnebago will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome to a dealership to replace the front turn signal lights.
Steering#2019286June 11, 2019
215 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner XBR chassis, a power steering hose may touch the power stud on the starter motor. This could cause a short circuit and may also cause a power steering fluid leak. This may result in loss of power steering assist. Safety Risk: A power steering fluid leak in the presence of an electrical arc could create the risk of a fire. Additionally, a sudden loss of power assist could make the vehicle difficult to steer and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a DTNA authorized service facility to reroute the power steering hose to ensure it has proper clearance.
Brakes#2019260May 31, 2019
54 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes equipped with an adjustable brake pedal, the brake lights could stay on when the brakes are released. If a vehicle is being towed, this could also cause the towed vehicle brakes to stay applied. Safety Risk: If the brake lights stay on, a following driver may not recognize when the vehicle ahead is braking. Additionally, if the brakes of a towed vehicle stay applied, it could result in a loss of control. Both of these situations could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the torsion spring in the brake pedal assembly.
Engine#2016378July 27, 2016
53 units affected
On certain motorhomes, when the throttle pedal is released, the associated throttle pedal sensor may not return to zero, causing the engine brake to fail to activate as expected. This could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will replace the throttle pedal.
Brakes#2016189April 27, 2016
3 units affected
On certain motorhomes equipped with a heavier weight adjustable offset foot pedal, the brake activation signal to the motorhome’s brake lights and to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released. This may cause the motorhome brake lights to potentially remain illuminated, which would result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions. Additionally, if the brakes of a towed vehicle were to remained engaged, it could result in a loss of vehicle control. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will replace the torsion spring of the pedal assembly with an improved spring.
Accessories#2015497October 22, 2015
646 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose(s) could harden and leak at the crimp fitting. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose(s).

As such these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 189.
SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC#16V238000April 25, 2016
Winnebago Industries, Inc (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2014 Winnebago Tour, and Itasca Ellipse vehicles manufactured May 23, 2013, to August 9, 2013 and built on a Freightliner chassis. On certain recreational vehicles built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the service brakes are released.
Risk: If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Daimler Trucks North America, LLC., (DTNA) will notify owners, and dealers will modify the affected brake assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2016.
