What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON A FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS WITH A 400-HP CUMMINS ENGINE, A SHEET METAL "TAB" ON A WIRE COVER LOCATED BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
What can happen
IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HANGS UP ON THE TAB OF THE WIRE COVER, A HAZARDOUS SITUATION COULD RESULT IN THE PEDAL NOT GOING BACK TO IDLE POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, VEHICLE DAMAGE AND, A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR OWNERS TO INSPECT AND IF NECESSARY HAVE THE WIRE COVER REPAIRED. IF OWNERS DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PERFORMING THE INSPECTION, DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT WINNEBAGO AT 641-585-6939.

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.
