2007 Itasca Suncruiser recalls

Recall 10V-525: Equipment

Reported Oct 26, 2010 · 18,461 vehicles affected · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.

Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.

Fix: Winnebago is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began during december 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Problem: Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, 'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.' the rear and rear-side red reflectors are located above the 60-inch height limit.

Risk: Non-standard side marker and reflector lights could reduce visibility of vehicles and increase the potential for a crash.

Problem: Certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The steering could become loose at the steering box during tight steering maneuvers.

Risk: This steering condition could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Workhorse is conducting this recall (Please see 06v148000) and will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6883 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Structure · at 2,800 miles · reported Jun 13, 2012
In 2009, we discovered that water was leaking from the windshield onto the dashboard. Took it to the dealership and they applied silicone and apparently stopped the leak temporarily. Now again, in 2012 the windshield has started leaking again and it appears that the frame the windshield sets in is rusted.
