What was wrong
Defect
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Winnebago and Itasca motor homes. A cutting machine may have scored the copper propane tubing resulting in unknown long-term reliability.
Risk
If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Manufacturer remedy
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the copper tubing, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2012. Owners may contact Winnebago Industries Owner Relations at 1-641-585-6939.
