NHTSA recall 02V184000
Unknown Or Other · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain motor homes, the hydraulic lines for the bedroom slideout may be routed adjacent to the engine exhaust. The temperature of the exhaust could degrade the hose to the point a leak could develop.
Why it matters: If a leak were to occur, hydraulic fluid could spray on to hot exhaust or engine components and could ignite resulting in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace and correctly route the hydraulic lines. Owner notification began August 9, 2002.
