Winnebago and Itasca Motor Homes Recalled for Propane Hose Leak Risk

Winnebago is recalling certain 2009-2012 motor homes because the propane hose may wear through, causing a leak that could ignite.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect could result in personal injury or death, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or death potential.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Winnebago Access, Access Premier, Chalet, and model year 2011 Itasca Impulse and Impulse Silver motor homes. These vehicles were manufactured between March 5, 2008, and April 28, 2011.

The recall is due to a potential issue where the propane supply hose may make contact with the metal door frame. This contact can wear through the hose, causing a propane leak. The source text states that such a leak could ignite and result in personal injury or death.

Dealers will check to ensure the propane supply hose is not damaged and replace it if necessary. They will also add a clamp to route the hose away from any unfriendly surfaces. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on August 19, 2011. Owners may contact Winnebago Industries Owner Relations at 1-641-585-6939 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
