Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Itasca Cambria, 2015-2017 Winnebago ERA, Travato, Fuse, Aspect, and Vista recreational vehicles, and 2015-2017 Itasca Sunstar recreational vehicles. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 6, 2014, and April 22, 2016.

The recall is due to an electrical connection to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) that may not be properly tightened. A loose power connection may cause a build-up of heat at the connection, which increases the risk of a fire.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the electrical connection, replacing the ATS box and switch as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 22, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
