2003 Itasca Sunova & 2003 Winnebago Sightseer recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain model D30B motor homes built on a ford chassis, a plate, which is used to support the spare tire, was inadvertently left off a number of these motor homes.
💥 The risk
Without this additional support, the spare tire could fall off the vehicle resulting in property damage and possibly personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the spare tire mount and, if necessary, install a new support plate. Owner notification is expected to begin during march 2003. 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.)
