Recall 02V-184: 2002 Ultimate Advantage, 2002 Ultimate Freedom and 2 more
WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC. recall for unknown or other, reported to NHTSA on Jul 12, 2002, covering about 32 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor homes, the hydraulic lines for the bedroom slideout may be routed adjacent to the engine exhaust. The temperature of the exhaust could degrade the hose to the point a leak could develop.
The risk
If a leak were to occur, hydraulic fluid could spray on to hot exhaust or engine components and could ignite resulting in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace and correctly route the hydraulic lines. Owner notification began august 9, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
