Summary: Vehicle description: motor homes. These motor homes may contain a generator with an improperly sized breaker for its intended application. A 30-amp circuit breaker is installed where a 20-amp circuit breaker should be. This breaker protects the circuit that goes to a central air conditioning unit.
Consequence: If an overload were to occur to the circuit, it could ignite the insulation and result in bodily injury and/or property damage.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the circuit breakers in the generator and, if necessary, replace the breaker.
Notes: Owner notification began March 29, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
