Campaign:
12V057000 on 02/15/2012
Component:
Power train:automatic transmission:gear position indication (prndl)
Affected:
2,841
Defect:
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 winnebago and itasca motor homes built on a ford f-53 chassis. the 'prndl' cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. if the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the 'prndl' display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
Consequence:
An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the 'prndl' cable assembly, free of charge. the safety recall began on march 2, 2012. owners may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.

Component:
Steering
Affected:
2
Defect:
Winnebago is recalling a model year 2013 winnebago and 2013 itasca motor home built on a ford f-53 chassis. the steering gear bracket may have been secured with nuts that may damage the bolts due to an incompatibility between the installation torque and the nut finish.
Consequence:
The bolts may fracture, leading to separation of the steering gear and thus a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
These vehicles have been repaired prior to being sold, therefore an owner notification notice will not be issued. consumers may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.
