For the 2006 Winnebago Journey. 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 Winnebago 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 Winnebago dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2006 Winnebago Journey recalls, newest first

October 26, 2010NHTSA 10V52500018,461 vehicles potentially affected

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.

August 12, 2008NHTSA 08V41900031 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary
Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 itasca cambria, horizon, winnebago access, adventurer, journey, minnie winnie, signtseer, tour, vectra, and voyage motor homes equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These lifts fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 403, "platform lift systems for motor vehicles." the anti-stow interlock may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user. The pressure sensing switch that detects the presence of weight on the platform was not adjusted to the necessary sensitivity level. The lift could stow even though someone or something is still on the lift.
Consequence
A lift occupant can be injured should the lift begin to stow unintentionally.
Remedy
Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts (please see 07E097). Owners may contact ricon at 1-800-322-2884 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

May 19, 2008NHTSA 08V2230001,699 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Hydraulic power assist system

Summary
Winnebago is recalling 1,699 my 2005-2009 winnebago journey, tour and itasca meridian and ellipse motor homes built on the freightliner xc chassis. The chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Consequence
Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535.

Equipment adaptive/mobility

Summary
Winnebago is recalling 31 my 2006-2008 journey, voyage, my 2006-2007 sightseer, my 2006 adventurer, minnie winnie, my 2007 access, tour, vectra, itasca cambria, and my 2007-2008 itasca horizon motor homes equipped with ricon platform style wheelchair lifts. These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 404, "platform lift installations in motor vehicles." the threshold warning system may not detect the presence of a wheelchair or mobility aid user in a certain spot within the defined threshold area.
Consequence
The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move unintentionally.
Remedy
Winnebago is working with ricon to correct the wheelchair lifts free of charge (please see 07E095). The recall began on April 9, 2008. Owners may contact ricon at 1-818-267-3000.

December 28, 2005NHTSA 05V573000193 vehicles potentially affected

Structure › Body

Summary
On certain motor homes equipped with kwikee brand electric steps, the steps may have been manufactured with defective step control units.
Consequence
The defective control units could develop an electrical short allowing for the potential of the plastic case to ignite, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the kwikee step and replace the step control unit, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 23, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

November 1, 2005NHTSA 05V496000152 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Column

Summary
On certain motor homes, the cinch bolt, where the steering column connects to the intermediate shaft, was improperly tightened. This could result in the bolt threads being stripped, conceivably not providing a tight joint.
Consequence
If the joint is loose, the intermediate shaft has the potential to slip off the spline shaft of the steering column causing loss of steering control. This could result in personal injury or vehicle and property damage.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the cinch bolt and nut. The recall began November 4, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
On certain motor homes, the roof vent for the optional 4-door refrigerator was incorrectly located.
Consequence
This can allow excessive heat buildup which has the potential to ignite surrounding materials, resulting in personal injury and/oi vehicle and property damage.
Remedy
Dealers will relocate the roof vent. The recall began on September 9, 2005. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
