Recalls apply to specific build ranges, so a recall listed here may or may not cover your particular vehicle. NHTSA's free VIN lookup is the authority: nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the heating pad for the water tank could fail. As a result, the heating pad could overheat and melt. Safety Risk: A heating pad that overheats and melts can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Winnebago advises not to use the water tank heating pad until the recall repairs are completed. Winnebago will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome to a dealership to replace the water tank heating pad.
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the bolts on the mounting brackets that secure the propane tank may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the propane tank could become loose and detach. Safety Risk: A propane tank that detaches from the motorhome could create a road hazard for others and 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 inspect and, if necessary, tighten the bolts on the mounting brackets that secure the propane tank.
Issue: On a small number of motorhomes, the spare tire carrier may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the carrier could detach from the motorhome. Safety Risk: A spare tire carrier that detaches from the motorhome could create a hazard for other road users and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: None of the affected motorhomes have been delivered to customers. Winnebago will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace and tighten the spare tire carrier bolts before the motorhomes are delivered.
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the wrong trailer hitch label was installed. This could lead you to overload the motorhome, which could cause poor handling or a tire failure. Safety Risk: Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Winnebago will mail a new trailer hitch label to each owner. If you would like help to install it, you can contact a Winnebago dealer to have it installed free of charge.

On certain motorhomes, the liner which seals the bottom, sides and back of the propane cooking range may have been omitted during vehicle assembly. As a result, airflow can extinguish the flame. If the range flame goes out, the propane gas will continue to flow. In the presence of an ignition source, this could result in a fire or an explosion, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a cooking range liner/enclosure.
On certain motorhomes equipped with a Norcold Inc. refrigerator, a fatigue crack in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited. This could result in a fire, causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the refrigerators cooling unit.
On certain motorhomes, incorrect fasteners were used to secure the television located in the front overhead area. The television may become loose and fall from its position which could impact the driver or passengers, resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the TV retention strap fasteners.

On certain recreational vehicles equipped with a Samsung microwave oven, an electrical short can occur in the microwave oven's membrane panel keypad causing the oven to activate without pressing any keypads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke or possibly a fire. Correction: Samsung will notify its customers and repair the membrane panel keypad. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave ovens, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the membrane panel keypad is replaced.

On certain vehicles equipped with Am-Safe safety belt assemblies, the buckle and connector may unlatch during a collision. Serious injury or death could occur if the vehicle occupant is not properly restrained. Correction: Dealers will inspect belt assemblies and replace if necessary.
On certain vehicles, an improperly routed LPG hose may be installed which may result in an insufficient hose loop at the slideout extension mechanism. If this happens, the hose may get damaged and over time, may develop a leak which has the potential to ignite, resulting in possible occupant injury. Correction: LP hose will be rerouted.
On certain vehicles, the lap belt buckles may have damaged or deformed areas on the pawl in the buckle. The deformation is such that during engagement, the connector may be unable to transfer the load to the buckle. In some cases, this can cause the buckle to unlatch and leave the occupant unrestrained. Correction: Buckles will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
