Owner report 10196795 · 2007-07-19 (July 19, 2007)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN MY 2007 ITASCA NAVION, THE TURBO RESONATOR FAILED. THAT CAUSED THE SPEED TO DROP QUICKLY TO 40 MPH. I NEARLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME. THE PART IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS IN A HOT ENVIRONMENT. THE SEAMS SEPARATE AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP HOME MODE. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WIDELY IN SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS. THE PART WAS REPLACED BY A DODGE SPRINTER DEALER AND THE PARTS MAN SAID THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THEM. *TR

10V470000 · Seat Belts
Reported: 2010-10-05 (October 5, 2010)
WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2011 WINNEBAGO VIEW AND ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOMES BECAUSE THE DINETTE AREA SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS ON THOSE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." IN A COLLISION, THE GENERATED CRASH FORCES CAN CAUSE THE RESTRAINT'S ATTACHMENT TO TEAR AND ALLOW THE ANCHOR TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.
Consequence: IF THE RESTRAINT SEPARATES FROM THE VEHICLE DURING A CRASH, THE BELT WILL NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE SEAT OCCUPANT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANT.
Remedy: WINNEBAGO WILL ADD ADDITIONAL SEAT BELT ANCHORAGES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 1-800-537-1885.
