03- Lights And Instruments#2024578
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.
- Electrical#2019572
16 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, an electrical connector may have been incorrectly installed directly on the floor. If the floor gets wet under this connector while the motorhome has power, there could be a risk of a short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit could increase the risk of fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a stand-off bracket between the floor and the electrical connector.
- Electrical#2016452
158 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the 120-volt connections associated with the automatic transfer switch (ATS) may not have been torqued correctly during vehicle assembly. This could result in loose connections, which could create a high resistance which could overheat and cause a fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will verify and ensure proper torque of all the ATS connections.
