What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES,THE FLAME ON THE COOKING RANGE MAY BE FORCED DOWNWARD OVER THE BURNER OR FLAME OUTAGE MAY OCCUR WHEN THE COOKING RANGE AND FURNACE ARE OPERATED AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A MISSING OR INCOMPLETE CABINET PANEL THAT ISOLATES THE FURNACE RETURN AIR.

The risk

IF THE FURNACE IS OPERATED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE STOVE AND THE CABINET PANEL IS MISSING OR INCOMPLETE, THE STOVE FLAME MAY GO OUT AND THE PROPANE GAS WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IGNITE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY, VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CABINET ASSEMBLY AND, IF THE CABINENT PANEL IS MISSING OR INCOMPLETE, THE PANEL WILL BE INSTALLED OR REPAIRED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 10, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-641-585-6939.

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.
