What is wrong
WINNEBAGO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 ERA MOTOR HOMES, MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 25, 2011, THROUGH AUGUST 4, 2011AND BUILT ON SPRINTER/DAIMLER CHASSIS. THE SUPPLIER OF THE REAR SPRINGS ROLLED THE SPRING EYE DIAMETER OUT OF TOLERANCE DURING PRODUCTION, AND THEN CORRECTED THE DIAMETER WITHOUT HEATING THE PARTS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A CRACK OF THE SPRING EYE OVER TIME.
What can happen
IF A SPRING EYE WERE TO CRACK, THE REAR SPRING COULD COLLAPSE, SUDDENLY UPSETTING THE VEHICLES HANDLING, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.

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.
