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.
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.
Winnebago will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome to a dealership to replace the front turn signal lights.
Certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis could have a problem with the rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM). This could cause the tail lights not to work properly. Note: This recall replaces FL-856 (Transport Canada recall 2020-323). Motorhomes that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.
Brake lights or turn signals that do not work could cause a following driver not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Winnebago will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
Certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis could have a problem with the rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM). This could cause the tail lights not to work properly. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2019-379. Vehicles that had an inspection, but did not have the PDM replaced under the previous recall, require a second repair under this recall.
Brake lights or turn signals that do not work could cause a following driver not to recognize that a vehicle ahead is braking or intends to turn. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Winnebago will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) authorized service facility to replace the PDM.
On certain motorhomes, the auxiliary solar charging port may have been installed without proper circuit protection (a fuse). If solar panels are connected through the solar charging port and they exceed the amperage capacity of the circuit, there may be an increased risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install an inline fuse to the auxiliary solar charging port circuit.
A failure of this component (electrical) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain motorhomes, a battery cable and hydraulic fluid line may not have been properly secured during vehicle assembly and could come into contact with either the driveshaft or exhaust. If this were to occur, it could lead to an electrical short and/or fire, which could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the battery cables and hydraulic lines to ensure they are properly routed and secured, and will repair as necessary.
