2006 Winnebago View recalls

Recall 10V-470: Seat Belts

Reported Oct 5, 2010 · 2,496 vehicles affected · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2011 winnebago view and itasca navion motor homes because the dinette area seat belt restraints on those vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." in a collision, the generated crash forces can cause the restraint's attachment to tear and allow the anchor to separate from the body of the vehicle.

Risk: If the restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death to the occupant.

Fix: Winnebago will add additional seat belt anchorages free of charge. The safety recall began on november 12, 2010. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

Power Train · at 53,307 miles · reported Aug 15, 2015
While stopped in traffic - went to accelerate and nothing. Ended up being the transmission. I purchased this vehicle at 30k. Had the tranny fluid and filter changed. Just spent 7000 k on remanufactured transmission. It had a total of 53307 miles on it. This is a crap vehicle. Even the mercedes mechenic. Told me to get rid of it as soon as I can. Said the tranny wasn't made to haul a camper. This failure happened in atlanta, on top of the third bridge high interstate (285/85). We stopped traffic for an hour on a friday at 5pm. Then set on top for 8.5 hours waiting for tow truck.
Tires · at 25,500 miles · reported Nov 23, 2014
Pegasus advanta clt tire blew out while driving. Inspection showed casing failure on outside edge of sidewall. Further inspection revealed incomplete DOT number - no manufacture date. Last 4 digits were blank (Empty circles). The drop down tire list did not list pegasus so I picked api since they were the pegasus manufacturer. This complaint does not apply to the gladiator - I could not proceed without making a selection.
Electrical System · at 43,400 miles · reported Jun 24, 2013
2006 winnebago view. Entering the highway, transmission stayed in 1st gear causing a dangerous situation. The cars behind stacked up behind me, as well as the highway --- I had no choice but to merge on to. Dealer said its the ABS module that is bad. I had the amber triangle, wheel PSI,check engine and ABS lights on. Vehicle speedometer was inoperative also. The cost will be $3300 dollars and two weeks worth of waiting on the part. 1800 miles from home. I can disconnect the battery and reconnect.and drive. It does shift but after a few miles the lights come back on and now stuck in that gear…
