There are five recalls for the 2013 WINNEBAGO JOURNEY affecting various critical systems including electrical connectors, propane gas systems, exterior lighting, and fire extinguishers.
Recalls- Electrical system. NHTSA recall 12V566000 affects 1,521 vehicles due to loose diode jumper connectors possibly causing brake lights or cruise control deactivation failure. Risk of crash increases if brake lights do not illuminate or cruise control does not disengage when braking. Daimler Trucks North America will inspect and repair the issue at no cost.
- Range enclosure. Recall 13V161000 involves 1,918 vehicles that may be missing a range enclosure, allowing propane flames to extinguish while gas continues flowing. This defect increases fire or injury risks. Winnebago will install the enclosure free of charge.
- LP hose leak. Recall 15V625000 covers 8,842 vehicles where the high-pressure liquid propane hose may harden and leak at the crimp fitting. Leaking propane near ignition sources poses fire hazards. Dealers will replace the LP hose at no cost starting November 2015.
- Turn signal lighting. Recall 24V733000 affects 17,329 vehicles with turn signals having smaller than required luminous lens areas. This noncompliance reduces visibility to other drivers and increases crash risk. Dealers will replace the turn signals free of charge once the remedy is available.
- Fire extinguishers. Recall 17V782000 includes 17,360 vehicles using Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers that may clog or detach nozzles, preventing proper discharge during a fire. Owners are instructed to contact Kidde for free replacement extinguishers.
Owners with multiple repairs or unresolved recall issues should consider their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney can help determine available options for persistent safety defects or repeated service attempts.

EQUIPMENT
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.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Winnebago Era, Travato, View, Trend, Via, Journey, and Tour motorhomes and Itasca Navion, Viva, Reyo, Meridian, and Elipse motorhomes manufactured June 26, 2012, to August 26, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose may harden and result in an LP leak at the crimp fitting.

EQUIPMENT
Winnebago Industries is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Minnie Winnie, Aspect, Sightseer, Adventurer, and Journey motorhomes; and model year 2012-2014 Itasca Spirit, Cambria, Sunova, Suncruiser, and Meridian motorhomes. The affected vehicles were manufactured January 10, 2012, through April 5, 2013 and may be missing a range enclosure.
Risk: A missing range enclosure may allow the gas range flame to be extinguished due to air flow. In such a case, propane gas will continue to flow without a flame. If propane continues to flow, in the presence of an ignition source, it may suddenly combust resulting in a fire and/or personal injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Winnebago Industries is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Winnebago Journey and Tour motorhomes, and certain model year 2010-2013 Itasca Meridian and Ellipse motorhomes, manufactured June 18, 2010, through November 17, 2011. The chassis are equipped with connectors for diode jumpers that may come loose, resulting in an open circuit. Two circuits are affected: The one that disengages the cruise control with brake pedal use, and the one that illuminates the brake lights with brake pedal use.
Risk: Failure of the cruise control to disengage when the brakes are applied may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Without the brake lights illuminating when the brakes are applied, the driver's intent is not communicated, increasing the risk of a crash.
