- Summary
- On motor homes built on Ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
- Consequence
- These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
- Remedy
- Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 or winnebago at 641-585-3535.
- Notes
- Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
