| Defect summary | Winnebago is recalling 594 my 2008-2009 destination, journey, tour, vectra, and itasca latitude, meridian, ellipse, and horizon motor homes equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld. |
| Consequence summary | If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard. |
| Corrective action | Winnebago is working with daimler trucks/saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08v269 and 08e031). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535. |
