2008 Winnebago Voyage recalls
Recall 10V-471: Seat Belts
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2008 winnebago voyage and, itasca sunrise and, model year 2009-2011 winnebago adventurer and, itasca suncruiser 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 notify ownes and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on december 17, 2010. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
Recall 10V-122: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Winnebago has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2008-2009 motorhomes fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift may operate with an occupant on the platform.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
Fix: Winnebago is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09e-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall began on july 6, 2010. Owners may contact ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or by email at www.dmata@wabtec.com.
Recall 08V-419: Equipment Adaptive/Mobility
Problem: Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 itasca cambria, horizon, winnebago access, adventurer, journey, minnie winnie, signtseer, tour, vectra, and voyage motor homes equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Risk: A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Fix: Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (Please see 07e097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
