For the 2006 Itasca Sunova. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Itasca been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Itasca dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Equipment

Summary
Winnebago is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Consequence
The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Remedy
Winnebago is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10E-049 for additional information. The recall began during December 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Seat belts

Summary
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 winnebago sightseer and itasca sunova motor homes because the dinette area seat belt restraints on those vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." in a collision, the generated crash forces can cause the restraint's attachment to tear and allow the anchor to separate from the body of the vehicle.
Consequence
If the restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death to the occupant.
Remedy
Winnebago will notify owners a dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on December 10, 2010. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

Summary
Winnebago is recalling 717 my 2006-2009 sightseer and vista, itasca sunova and sunstar motor homes built on workhorse chassis.

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
On certain motor homes, the flame on the cooking range may be forced downward over the burner or flame outage may occur when the cooking range and furnace are operated at the same time. This condition is due to the possibility of a missing cabinet panel that isolates the furnace return air.
Consequence
If the furnace is operated at the same time as the stove and the cabinet panel is missing, the stove flame may go out and the propane gas will continue to flow, which has the potential to ignite resulting in personal injury or vehicle and property damage.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the cabinet assembly for a cabinet panel and install one if necessary free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on June 2, 2006. Owners may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.
