Recall 02V184000
Unknown Or Other — Ultimate, Winnebago · reported 12 Jul 2002 · 32 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE HYDRAULIC LINES FOR THE BEDROOM SLIDEOUT MAY BE ROUTED ADJACENT TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST COULD DEGRADE THE HOSE TO THE POINT A LEAK COULD DEVELOP.
The risk
IF A LEAK WERE TO OCCUR, HYDRAULIC FLUID COULD SPRAY ON TO HOT EXHAUST OR ENGINE COMPONENTS AND COULD IGNITE RESULTING IN A FIRE.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE AND CORRECTLY ROUTE THE HYDRAULIC LINES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 9, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-641-585-6939.
ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
