2006 Itasca Sunova & 2006 Winnebago Sightseer recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, the flame on the cooking range may be forced downward over the burner or flame outage may occur when the cooking range and furnace are operated at the same time. This condition is due to the possibility of a missing cabinet panel that isolates the furnace return air.
💥 The risk
If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and the cabinet panel is missing, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury or vehicle and property damage.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the cabinet assembly for a cabinet panel and install one if necessary free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on june 2, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at 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.)
