What this recall means for you
On certain motorhomes, when connected to 30 amp power, the air conditioner's heat coil may not disengage when the Power Control System signals it to stop. The unit can keep producing heat even when it should shut off.
If the heat coil does not disengage along with the air conditioner, heat can build up inside the unit, which increases the risk of a fire.
Winnebago will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a blocking diode at the air conditioner unit free of charge. Owners can contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
