SUMMARY:

(Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Travato, 2014 Trend, and 2014 Itasca Viva! motorhomes manufactured November 13, 2013, through February 11, 2014, and built on the Ram ProMaster chassis. In the affected vehicles, if the accelerator pedal is pushed downward at a certain angle, the pedal may get stuck in the wide open throttle position due to interference with the accelerator pedal stopper.

CONSEQUENCE:
A stuck accelerator pedal can result in uncontrolled acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will replace the accelerator pedal stopper with a larger one, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2014. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.

RECALL Subject : TPMS may not Locate Sensors/FMVSS 138

Report Receipt Date: JAN 12, 2015
NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V008000
Component(s): TIRES
Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,107

Manufacturer: Winnebago Industries, Inc

SUMMARY:
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Winnebago Trend, Travato, and Itasca Viva motorhomes manufactured November 13, 2014, to December 23, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

CONSEQUENCE:
If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:
Winnebago will have Chrysler notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS module software, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is P62.

NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
