Winnebago Industries recalls 247 motorhomes

WASHINGTON — Winnebago Industries is recalling 247 model year 2008 and 2009 Winnebago Vectra and Itasca Horizon motorhomes to repair a problem with the unit’s air brakes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced.

The motorhomes were manufactured between November 2006 and May 2009, and they were equipped with Konsberg Automotive adjustable brake pedals.

The adjustable brake pedal arm may loosen, which could allow the arm to rotate around its shaft and swing in front of the accelerator pedal, thus reducing braking function. A loose brake pedal increases the risk of a crash, NHTSA said.

Winnebago is working with Freightliner to notify owners, and repairs will be completed by Freightliner free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin this month. For more information, owners may call Daimler Trucks warranty campaigns department at (800) 647-0712.
