2008 Itasca Navion & 2009 Winnebago ERA + 1 more recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Winnebago is recalling 114 my 2008 View, my 2009 ERA, and my 2008 itasca Navion class c motor homes built on sprinter chassis and equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft sensor in certain diesel engines could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor.

💥 The risk

This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor. When this happens, affected vehicles may lose power. This could result in the vehicle becoming immediately inoperable increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Sprinter is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 07V594). Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor free of charge. Owners may contact sprinter at 1-800-992-1997 or 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.)
