Winnebago ERA Recall 15V490: Wrong tire pressure on label could cause tire failure

NHTSA campaign 15V490, reported August 5, 2015, 1,732 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2012-2016 Winnebago Era motorhomes, built between November 2010 and July 2015, have a certification label that lists an incorrect front tire inflation pressure. Because the label gives the wrong specification, an owner may inflate the front tires too little or too much.

Underinflated or overinflated tires raise the risk of a tire failure, which could lead to a crash.

The repair is free. Winnebago will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install new certification labels showing the correct front tire pressure. Owners can also contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-3535, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
