2004–2006 Winnebago Itasca Spirit & 2005–2006 Itasca Cambria + 5 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes built on ford chassis, the fasteners holding the fuel tank mounting straps may not have been properly tightened, allowing the possibility for the fuel tank to loosen and fall.
💥 The risk
If the fuel tank falls, there is the potential for the tank to ignite, resulting in personal injury, vehicle and property damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and properly tighten the fasteners to the fuel tank straps. The recall began on october 15, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 614-585-6939.
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.)
