Winnebago Industries, Inc: Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Foundation Components › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Winnebago Industries, Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Apr 9, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 107. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Travato, 2014 Trend and Itasca Viva! motorhomes manufactured November 13, 2013, through April 3, 2014 on Ram ProMaster chassis. During the manufacturing of the chassis, a tool may have damaged one of the brake hoses which may result in a leakage of brake fluid from the brake hose.
The risk
Brake fluid leakage would result in a reduction of brake performance, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Chrysler (Ram) has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the brake hoses, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 26, 2014. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885 or Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 14V179000.
