- Summary
- On certain motor homes, an improperly mounted trailer hitch may have been installed on these motor homes. The trailer hitch may not have all the required fasteners attached to the motor home.
- Consequence
- If the hitch is utilized, it could stress the existing fasteners. A condition could exist that would shear or loosen the remaining fastener causing the hitch to separate from the vehicle, resulting in bodily injury and/or property damage.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the trailer hitch, and if necessary, add or replace the mounting hardware. Owner notification began June 21, 2002. 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.
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.
