Winnebago Industries, Inc: Equipment › Appliance › Air Conditioner
Winnebago Industries, Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 18, 2014 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 57. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2015 Winnebago Vista and Itasca Sunstar motorhomes manufactured April , 2014, through June 30, 2014. The affected vehicles may be missing a damper plate on the inside air conditioner shroud. This damper plate is to help prevent disruption of the range flame by air discharge from the roof air conditioner.
The risk
If the air conditioner blows out the range flame but the propane gas continues to flow, an ignition source may ignite the leaking propane, resulting in a fire.
The remedy
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will remove the current diverter and replace it with a damper plate, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 131.

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 14V506000.
