I RECENTLY READ RECALL #02V237 ON THE MONACO COACHES WHICH RELATES TO THE FLOOR TRUSS NETWORK. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THIS WITH MY CLASS A, 2000 WINNEBAGO HORIZON. ONE OF THE REAR BODY MOUNTS HAS RIPPED OFF THE FRAME, AND HAS BEEN REWELDED TWICE. STRUCTURAL PIECES WHICH RUN PERPENDICULAR AND PARALLEL TO THE FRAME HAVE SHEARED AND ARE CRACKED. BODY PANELS HAVE COLLAPSED WHICH HAVE ALLOWED CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES INTO THE COACH. THE COACH HAS BEEN ATTENDED TO SIX TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING ONCE AT THE WINNEBAGO FACTORY IN FORREST CITY, IA, WHERE I WAS ASSURED EVERY THING WAS FINE. THE BODY MOUNT RIPPED OFF THE FRAME 675 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. SINCE THEN TWO WINNEBAGO DEALERS HAVE LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE SAID THEY CANNOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, BECAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES ARE AT HAND. FORREST CITY,
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 & remedy
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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES (MODELS WKP36L, WKP36LD, AND IKP36LD). FOUR NUTS MAY HAVE LOOSENED FROM THE FOUR BOLTS THAT CONNECT THE LIQUID PROPANE (LP) TANK TO THE MOTOR HOME. IF THE ATTACHMENT HARDWARE IS LOOSENED, THE ROAD VIBRATION COULD PRODUCE UNDUE STRESS ON THE WELD JOINTS OF THE BRACKETS AND THEY COULD BREAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS HAPPENS, THE TANK COULD FALL OFF, RESULTING IN A ROAD HAZARD OR A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LP TANK ATTACHMENT AND RE-TIGHTENED THE FASTENERS IN ADDITION TO ADDING LOCK NUTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 24, 2001. 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.
