Summary
Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 winnebago and itasca motor homes built on a Ford F-53 chassis. The ‘prndl’ cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the ‘prndl’ display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
Consequence
An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the ‘prndl’ cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on March 2, 2012. Owners may contact winnebago industries owner relations at 1-641-585-6939.

Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
