Winnebago Recalls 2014-2015 Motorhomes Due to Tire Pressure Monitoring Defect

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety system failure that increases the risk of a crash due to tire failure, but no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Winnebago Trend, Travato, and Itasca Viva motorhomes manufactured between November 13, 2013, and December 23, 2014. The recall involves 1,107 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light may illuminate even when tire pressures are within specification. If a tire loses air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change, causing the vehicle to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138.

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition. This failure could possibly result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Winnebago will have Chrysler notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS module software free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is P62. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
