2004 Winnebago Minnie recalls
Recall 06V-456: Equipment
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with front overhead televisions, incorrect fasteners were used to secure the television located in the front overhead area of the motor home.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle to assure the correct fasteners (Bolts) were used in the tv retention strap. The recall began on december 15, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
Recall 05V-475: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: On certain motor homes built on ford chassis, the fasteners holding the fuel tank mounting straps may not have been properly tightened, allowing the possibility for the fuel tank to loosen and fall.
Risk: If the fuel tank falls, there is the potential for the tank to ignite, resulting in personal injury, vehicle and property damage.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and properly tighten the fasteners to the fuel tank straps. The recall began on october 15, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 614-585-6939.
Recall 04V-516: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
Risk: These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Fix: Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
Recall 04V-512: Electrical System
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis and equipped with gas engines, a diode in the anti-lock braking system (Abs) module may experience an electrical short.
Risk: The electrical short may cause an ABS malfunction that would illuminate the ABS warning light, or the module may overheat resulting in a burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. This condition may occur while the vehicle is being driven or unattended.
Fix: Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will install a new fuse in the ABS circuit and install a heat shield over the ABS module. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
Recall 03V-405: Equipment
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.
Risk: An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.
Fix: Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. 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 samsung at 800-932-3837 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
