2005–2006 Winnebago Special Purpose recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain Special Purpose coaches equipped with braun platform lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." a passenger CAN approach the exposed lift doorway without the audible alarm alerting them of their proximity to the threshold.
💥 The risk
Should the threshold warning system fail to operate, the lift user CAN fall from the vehicle and be seriously injured.
🔧 The fix
Winnebago is working with braun corporation to have the doorway lift fixed free of charge (please see 06E094). Owners may contact braun corporation at 1-800-946-7513.
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.)
