| Defect summary | On certain motor homes, the cinch bolt, where the steering column connects to the intermediate shaft, was improperly tightened. This could result in the bolt threads being stripped, conceivably not providing a tight joint. |
| Consequence summary | If the joint is loose, the intermediate shaft has the potential to slip off the spline shaft of the steering column causing loss of steering control. This could result in personal injury or vehicle and property damage. |
| Corrective action | Dealers will inspect and replace the cinch bolt and nut. The recall began november 4, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939. |
