The problem

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Winnebago Travato, Trend, and Itasca Viva! motor homes manufactured February 27, 2015, to January 6, 2016. The affected vehicles have an ignition switch that may experience an intermittent loss of electrical contact.

The risk

An intermittent loss of contact can result in a vehicle stall and/or a partial or complete loss of the air bags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and/or instrument panel cluster. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix

FCA US (Chrysler), manufacturer of the motorhome chassis, will notify owners, and Chrysler dealers will replace the ignition switch contact holder block, free of charge. Owners were sent interim notices in January 2016. The recall began on March 4, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535.
