Recall campaignsA 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.

What a recall is

Safety recall
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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

ANALYSIS OF MANUFACTURER'S INFORMATION:THE TURBO DIESEL ENGINE ACCOUNTS FOR OVER 80% OF THE DIESEL EQUIPPED SUBJECT VEHICLES.WINNEBAGO STATES THAT POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION OBSTRUCTION, PARTIAL AIR FILTER OBSTRUCTION,OVERFILLING THE CRANKCASE, DEFECTIVE O RING SEAL IN THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO BRAKE BOOSTER JOINT, AND A DEFECTIVE TURBO FEED BEARING SEAL MAY CAUSE OIL TO BE FORCED INTO THE TURBOCHARGER INTAKE. WINNEBAGO BELIEVES THAT THE ISOLATED OCCURRENCES ARE INSTANCES OF OWNER ABUSE OR LACK OF PROPER MAINTENANCE.ANALYSIS:REVIEW OF WINNEBAGO'S RESPONSE TO THE OCC SPECIAL ORDER AND THE ODI COMPLAINTS INDICATES THAT NO SAFETY DEFECT TREND IS DEVELOPING. THREE OR FOUR YEARS OF VEHICLE USAGE/EXPOSURE HAS RESULTED IN ONLY 3 REPORTS OUT OF NEARLY 7,000 VEHICLES (0.04%).THIS RATE AND REVIEW OF THE REPORTS, SUPPORTS WINNEBAGO'S POSITION THAT THE PROBLEM IS ISOLATED INSTANCES OF MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS.===
