Details

What's wrong: The â‘prndl⒠cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the â‘prndl⒠display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.

Why it matters: An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the â‘prndl⒠cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on March 2, 2012.
