Winnebago Recalls 2014-2015 Motorhomes for Electrical Corrosion Risk

Winnebago is recalling 2014-2015 Travato, Trend, and Itasca Viva motorhomes because water intrusion may cause electrical corrosion that disables safety features.

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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect (water intrusion causing electrical corrosion) that can disable air bags and other safety systems, increasing the risk of crash and injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Winnebago Travato, Trend, and Itasca Viva motorhomes. These vehicles were manufactured between November 13, 2013, and June 9, 2014, and are built on Ram ProMaster chassis.

The affected vehicles may experience circuit corrosion caused by water intrusion around the in-floor battery cover and door footwell trim. This corrosion can affect the vehicle's operation and potentially disable air bags, stop lamps, turn signals, backup lights, and door locks. These failures increase the risk of a crash and injury to occupants if air bags do not deploy.

Chrysler, on behalf of Winnebago, will notify owners. Dealers will inspect connectors in the footwell areas, the ignition fuse, and the occupant restraint control (ORC) module for corrosion. If corrosion is found, dealers will repair the connectors and ignition fuse, replace the ORC module, install a water barrier sealer, add di-electric grease to connectors, replace the body plug, and relocate the in-floor battery ignition fuse. These repairs are free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885.
