2008 Winnebago Access recall: equipment
β οΈ What's wrong
Winnebago is recalling two model year 2008 Access motor homes, manufactured on april 10, 2008, and july 23, 2008. Over time and with frequent use, the roll stop latches on the wheelchair liftΒs outer barrier may become bent or misaligned.
π₯ The risk
A wheelchair occupant may defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs when the lift platform is in an elevated position, the wheelchair's occupant could fall and sustain injury.
π§ The fix
Winnebago is working with braun to identify and notify owners, and braun dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 30, 2012. Owners may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.
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.)
