2003 Ultimate Freedom recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain motorhomes equipped with international thermal research (itr)hurricane hot water heaters, the electronic control board may adversely affect safety features in some of the systems protecting against overheating and potential fire situation.

💥 The risk

If the safety features do not shut down properly, the heating system CAN continue heating, possibly resulting in a fire.

🔧 The fix

The defective electronic control board will be replaced. In the meantime, customers should turn the system off using the master on/off switch located on the side of the electronic control box which is adjacent to the heater. Owners who take their motorhomes to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact itr at 1-800-755-1272 or at winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

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.)
