Details

What's wrong: A cutting machine may have scored the copper propane tubing resulting in unknown long-term reliability.

Why it matters: If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

The fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the copper tubing, free of charge. The recall began on September 6, 2012.
