Details

What's wrong: The supplier of the rear springs rolled the spring eye diameter out of tolerance during production, and then corrected the diameter without heating the parts. This could potentially lead to a crack of the spring eye over time.

Why it matters: If a spring eye were to crack, the rear spring could collapse, suddenly upsetting the vehicles handling, which could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Winnebago is working with sprinter/daimler to notify owners. Sprinter/daimler is handling the remedy for this campaign, please see 11V-323. Sprinter/daimler dealers will replace the rear springs as necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on November 30, 2011.
