Problem: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Winnebago Era, Travato, Minnie Winnie, Fuse, View, Trend, Aspect, Brave, Vista, Sightseer, Adventurer, Forza, Journey, Tour, Revel, Paseo, Chalet, Access, and Intent motorhomes and Commercial vehicles, and 2013-2018 Itasca Spirit, Navion, Cambria, Tribute, Sunstar, Sunova, Suncruiser, Solei, Meridian, Elipse, Horizon, Reyo, and Via motorhomes. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

The component is wheel speed sensors. Safety issues - uncontrolled speed, transmission, engine performance, vehicle unable to be operated safely - Had the problem in 2020 (twice) - 2 of 4 sensors replaced after towing....again, in 2020 the third failed - had the 4th replaced at my expense. This year, two days of terror driving across WA - made it to Spokane Mercedes - three of the four sensors were reported as bad - replaced. Almost all warning lights were on at some point getting to the repair - ABS most consistent. This needs a fix as the vehicle is a risk (if you panic). I have learned to get to the side of the road and turn it off - then restart - sometimes works. I suggest the computer…

OUR RV IS NOW HAVING THE SECOND WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. THE RV HAS 14000 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HE REPLACES THEM FREQUENTLY ON THE RVS. WHEN THE SENSOR FAILS THE ABS AND THE ESP FAIL. THE BRAKES SOMETIMES PUMP THEMSELVES, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I DID A SEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS WIDESPREAD. THE MERCEDES MANUFACTURES THE CHASSIS. A SEARCH ON SPRINTER RV WITH ABS FAILURE TURNS UP 20 OR SO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PART FAILING. THE PROBLEM RENDERS THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE INITIAL FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AT OVER 60MPH AND STARTING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN, THANKS *TR

THE CONTACT CALLED MERCEDES-BENZ OF ROCHESTER (4447 CANAL PL SE, ROCHESTER, MN 55904, (507) 216-9006). THE DEALER HAD AN INVESTIGATOR INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AGREED WITH THE DEALER'S ASSESSMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE…

2016 WINNEBAGO VIEW. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ALIGNMENT ISSUES, RADIO AND GPS SYSTEM NOT WORKING. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED IT WAS FAIRLY COMMON TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE BECAUSE THE COACH COMPARTMENT WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE CHASSIS HAD ALREADY BEEN ALIGNED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT TOOK OVER TOW MONTHS, BEFORE THE RV WAS READY. THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE WAS DRIVING, HE NOTICED THE REPAIRS HAD NOT BEEN MADE. WHEN THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, HE WAS INFORMED THE SYSTEM HAD ONLY BEEN REPROGRAMMED, BECAUSE THE SYSTEM REPLACEMENT WAS NOT APPROVED. IT TOOK ANOTHER WEEK, BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS FINALLY RESOLVED. ALSO, THE STOVE AND REFRIGERATOR STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A…
