Plain-English summary
Winnebago Industries Inc. is recalling two model year 2008 Access motor homes manufactured on April 10, 2008, and July 23, 2008. The recall addresses a defect in the roll stop latches on the wheelchair lift's outer barrier.
Over time and with frequent use, these latches may become bent or misaligned. This condition may allow a wheelchair occupant to defeat or ride over the insufficiently latched roll stop. If this occurs while the lift platform is in an elevated position, the occupant could fall and sustain injury.
Winnebago is working with Braun to identify and notify owners. 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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
