2016 WINNEBAGO TRAVATO DIESEL ON A RAM PROMASTER CHASSIS. ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON MULTI-LANE HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. LUCKILY ON BOTH OCCASIONS I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE FIRST TIME THE MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED SERVICING APPEARED. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLERR/DODGE DEALER THE ENGINE WOULD RESET ITSELF AND WHEN IT DID BRING THE VEHICLE IN. I WAS TOLD THE CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE AGAIN LOST ALL POWER WITH THE MESSAGE SERVICE TRANSMISSION. THIS TIME ALL WHEELS WERE LOCKED AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR HOURS. WHEN IT DID RESTART, THE MESSAGE CHANGED TO SERVICE ENGINE. TOWED TO A DEALER WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE REASON AND THREW UP HIS HANDS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE 8/28/2015 AND TO DATE HAS SPENT OVER 2 MONTHS IN REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHEN OR IF IT CAN BE FIXED. THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. I WILL NOT PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE OR ENDANGER OTHERS ON THE ROAD, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THIS DEFECT. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD.

BEHIND THE REFRIGERATOR AT LP FLAME AREA, THE FLUME PIPE GOING ALL THE WAY UP TO ROOF VENT ABUTS WOOD THAT FRAME THIS AREA. THIS PIPE GETS VERY HOT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE STARTING THERE. WHILE AT AN RV REPAIR DEALER ALPACHEE RV IN ARBURN GA ANOTHER RV NAVION ALERTED ME THEY FOUND BURN SCORCH AREA IN SAME PLACE AT THE FLUME PIPE AS THEY REMOVED THE ONE PIECE ROOF SECTION TO REPAIR A ROOF LEAK. I CHECK MINE AFTER DISCOVERING A LP LEAK AFTER THEY FILLED MY LP TANK . THAT IS RECALL ITEM THAT I PLAN TO GET FIX. I KNOW THAT FLUME PIPE SHOULD NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING ESPECIALLY WOOD.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY CLOUDY AND ARE TURNING YELLOW DUE TO DETERIORATION OF THE PLASTIC WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE FINE CRACKING OR CRAZING THROUGHOUT THE MATERIAL THAT CAN NOT BE POLISHED OUT. THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO CONTAIN THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAVE THE FOLLOWING IDENTIFICATION: DOT SAE AHR15PP2 99 HB3 TYC 20-6173 R & TYC 20-6174 L SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I CONTACTED WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES REGARDING REPLACEMENT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST, I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THEM. AS TIME GOES ON THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE WHICH IS IMPAIRING THE NIGHTTIME ROAD VISIBILITY AND VIEW OF THE TURN SIGNALS BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE INFERIOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL USED FOR THESE HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE.

MY 2011 WINNEBAGO VISTA 35F HAS THE SAME DAMAGE TO THE PROTECTIVE WRAP OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES FOR THE SLIDE-OUT AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V-390. HOWEVER, I'M BEING TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE DATES SPECIFIED BY THE RECALL. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS ADDED TO THE RECALL? THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FIX THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS MADE HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY, SINCE WINNEBAGO IS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BEFORE LEAVING THE FACTORY. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE YET, BUT WAS PLANNING TO MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF UNTIL I SAW THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 WINNEBAGO ITASCO NAVION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FUEL ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,700.
