What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES BUILT ON VOLKSWAGEN EUROVAN CHASSIS, THE ENGINE COOLING FANS COULD FRACTURE AND BREAK APART.

The risk

IF THE FAN FRACTURES OR BREAKS THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE COOLING FANS USING A CRADLE ASSEMBLY. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH OR APRIL 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN AT 1-800-822-8987 OR WINNEBAGO AT 641-585-3535.

Notes

VW RECALL NO. WB.CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
