Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Itasca Sunova and Winnebago Sightseer motorhomes with a D35G floorplan. These vehicles were manufactured between March 19, 2015, and July 15, 2015. The recall covers a total of 172 vehicles.

The defect involves the wiring harness located behind the panel board, which may be pinched or damaged when the left rear slideout room is retracted due to insufficient clearance. A damaged or pinched wiring harness increases the risk of a fire.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness for damage and repair it as necessary. Additionally, the harness attachment point will be relocated to provide extra clearance. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on November 5, 2015. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
