⚠️ What's wrong
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011 Tour and itasca Ellipse motor homes manufactured from august 9, 2010 through january 21, 2011. These vehicles have the potential for a lp hose connection to be damaged when the slideout room is operated. If the lp hose makes contact with the slideout Ram, it could be disconnected.

Dealers will inspect the hose and relocate a pipe clamp as well as adding a second clamp to the hose to ensure clearance is maintained during the operation of the slideroom. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 25, 2011. Owner may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.
