Details

What's wrong: The parking brake cable may rub on a metal support under the vehicle.

Why it matters: If the parking brake cable rubs, it may fail to release, or over time it may abrade until it to fails, resulting in the vehicle rolling away without prior warning possibly causing personal injury or death.

The fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will shorten the metal tube to provide clearance for the parking brake cable, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 17, 2012.
