NHTSA Safety Recall 18V___
TO: Winnebago Industries, Inc. Dealers
SUBJECT: Campaign #149 – Exterior Rear View Mirrors
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the owner has tendered it for repair. A failure to adequately repair within 60 days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time.
If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the owners may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
To avoid having to provide these burdensome solutions, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each owner and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the enclosed copy of the letter which is being sent to owners, the owners are being instructed to contact Winnebago Industries, Inc. if you do not remedy the condition within five days of the mutually agreed upon service date. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
Winnebago Industries, Inc. has determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists on certain 2018 and 2019 Winnebago Intents. These motor homes were manufactured May 25, 2017 through March 7, 2018.
The exterior rear view mirrors on these units may have been installed incorrectly. The top mounting screws may not have engaged the metal reinforcement located in the sidewall. If this has occurred, the mirror could fall off while going down the road.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners will be notified of this campaign on their vehicles by Winnebago Industries, Inc. For all units in your inventory, the notification will be mailed to you. DO NOT DELIVER TO A CUSTOMER ANY SUBJECT UNIT UNTIL CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. Enclosed is a list of vehicles shipped to you.
