2004 Four Winds Infinity recalls
Recall 17V-758: Equipment
Problem: Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling various 2003-2018 recreational vehicles, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V758-5764.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Recall 09V-204: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Four winds is recalling 684 my 2002-2006 infinity, my 2002-2007 windesport, my 2004-2008 hurricane, my 2006-2007 megallan and my 2008 fun mover motor homes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.
Risk: The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v-110. Workhorse will conduct the owner and dealer notification. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.
Recall 06V-351: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
Risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Fix: Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (Please see 06v225 and 06v289). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, workhorse at 877-294-6773 or thor industries at 937-596-6849.
Recall 06V-093: Electrical System
Problem: Certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with actia corporate instrument clusters fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard nos. 101 "controls and displays" and 105 "hydraulic and electric brake systems." if the brake fail input falls below a voltage of 1.5v, the brake failure lamp and alarm will be activated. Also activation of the ABS telltale when the ABS is not properly functioning does not always occur.
Risk: At night the instrument cluster lights may fail and the driver may not be able to see the instrument panel gauges and the brake warning light indicator which could increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Workhorse is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign and reprogram the instrument panel cluster free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or four winds at 574-266-1111.
Recall 04V-249: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: On certain motor homes, the fuel lines on the chassis could chafe against the steel floor structure, causing the fuel line to rupture.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the braided fuel supply line to determine if the fuel line has become excessively worn or chaffed. If there is no visible damage to the fuel line, the dealer will secure the fuel line to the main wiring loom. If damage is discovered, the fuel line will be replaced and properly anchored. The recall began july 16, 2004. Owners should contact four winds at
Recall 04V-127: Seats
Problem: On certain class a motorhomes equipped with three-point shoulder harness seat belts, the seat pedestal brace was improperly installed or could be missing. Also, the brace could have been installed without utilizing four tec bolts to hold the brace in place.
Risk: This could result in the seat belt harness malfunctioning in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death to the driver or passenger seat occupants.
Fix: Dealers will either add a seat pedestal brace if brace is not present or install necessary hardware or tec bolts to hold the brace in place. The recall began march 31, 2004. 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 four winds at 574-266-1111.
