What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2017 Winnebago View and Itasca Navion motorhomes manufactured March 21, 2016, to September 15, 2016. The affected vehicles may have loose driver and front passenger seat mounting bolts, possibly allowing the seats to detach from the mounting pedestals.

The risk

If the seat detaches from the mounting pedestal, it can increase the risk of injury and crash.

The remedy

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the seat mounting bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began on November 16, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
