2000 Itasca Sunflyer 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.

Recall 02V-276: Equipment

Reported Dec 3, 2002 · 631 vehicles affected · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES INC.

Problem: Certain motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerator cooling units model numbers 442, 443, 452, ev452, 453, 462, ev462, 463, ev463, 482, ev482, 483, ev483, 874, and 875. These refrigerators can experience a break down in a rubber seal within the gas valve. As the rubber seal ages, a leak may occur, allowing propane gas to accumulate in the burner area.

Risk: The consequence can result in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.

Fix: Norcold will notify its customers and provide a replacement gas valve free of charge. 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 norcold service center at 1-800-667-3005 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.

The rusting of the molding clips causes the metal to expand placing stress on the windshield and a fracture of the glass results. This could be prevented by…
Visibility · at 40,100 miles · reported Sep 21, 2009
My 2000 itasca sunflyer has a serious and dangerous design flaw. My passenger side window is fogged up ,to the extent that it prevents me from seeing approaching traffic on the passenger side,while using the rear view mirror on that side of the rv. I believe this could have been prevented by using a safety glass instead of the thermopaine glass presently used. This is a common problem with rv'ers and should be corrected.
