Recall 03V-049: 2003 Itasca Sunova, 2003 Winnebago Sightseer

The problem

On certain model d30b motor homes built on a ford chassis, a plate, which is used to support the spare tire, was inadvertently left off a number of these motor homes.

The risk

Without this additional support, the spare tire could fall off the vehicle resulting in property damage and possibly personal injury.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the spare tire mount and, if necessary, install a new support plate. Owner notification is expected to begin during march 2003. 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.
