What was wrong

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.

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.

Manufacturer 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.
