What this recall means for you
Some entry doors on certain motorhomes have latch rods that may be improperly adjusted. As a result, the door can open while the vehicle is moving, and the vehicle does not meet federal door lock and retention requirements.
If the door opens while driving, it can increase the risk of injury or a crash. Owners should take this seriously and avoid driving the vehicle until the door latch has been checked.
The repair is free. Dealers will readjust the door latch rod at no charge. Owners can contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885, referencing recall number 154, and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
