2002 Ultimate Advantage & 2002 Ultimate Freedom + 2 more recall: unknown or other
⚠️ 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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
