What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.' THE REAR AND REAR-SIDE RED REFLECTORS ARE LOCATED ABOVE THE 60-INCH HEIGHT LIMIT.
What can happen
NON-STANDARD SIDE MARKER AND REFLECTOR LIGHTS COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY OF VEHICLES AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL ADD REFLEX REFLECTORS IN COMPLIANT LOCATIONS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 641-585-3535.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
