What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE FLAME ON THE COOKING RANGE MAY BE FORCED DOWNWARD OVER THE BURNER OR FLAME OUTAGE MAY OCCUR WHEN THE COOKING RANGE AND FURNACE ARE OPERATED AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CONDITION IS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A MISSING CABINET PANEL THAT ISOLATES THE FURNACE RETURN AIR.
What can happen
IF THE FURNACE IS OPERATED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE STOVE AND THE CABINET PANEL IS MISSING, THE STOVE FLAME MAY GO OUT AND THE PROPANE GAS WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IGNITE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CABINET ASSEMBLY FOR A CABINET PANEL AND INSTALL ONE IF NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON JUNE 2, 2006. OWNERS MAY 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.
