Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Adventurer motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system where the heat coil may not disengage when the Power Control System calls to stop the air conditioner power during 30 AMP service.

If the heat coil does not disengage while the air conditioner is operating, heat can increase inside the unit, which increases the risk of a fire. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will install a blocking diode at the air conditioner unit free of charge. The recall began on February 6, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885, or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
