The problem
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Winnebago Journey and Adventurer motorhomes, and 2015 Itasca Meridian and Suncruiser motorhomes manufactured March 20, 2014, through November 6, 2015, and equipped with Atwood on demand water heaters, models OD45, OD50, and OD50CW. The affected water heaters have a water and gas valve that may cause the water heater to overheat the water in the hot water supply tap.
The risk
The overheating of the water may result in the release of steam, possibly causing the operator to scald themselves and increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Winnebago will notify owners. The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on January 26, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535, or Atwood customer service at 1-574-264-2131.
