Winnebago is recalling 2013-2016 Era, Trend, Tour, Journey, and Itasca motorhomes because a liquid propane hose may harden and leak, increasing fire risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (LPG system) that creates a significant risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Winnebago Era, Travato, View, Trend, Via, Journey, and Tour motorhomes, as well as Itasca Navion, Viva, Reyo, Meridian, and Elipse motorhomes. These vehicles were manufactured between June 26, 2012, and August 26, 2015. The recall affects 8,842 vehicles.

The defect involves the high-pressure liquid propane (LP) hose, which may harden over time. This hardening can result in an LP leak at the crimp fitting. An LP leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LP hose free of charge. The recall began on November 25, 2015. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
