Most Recent Complaints
Last fall while traveling north from Phoenix on [XXX] when I reached our campground in Cottonwood, AZ I got out and started to my set up to camp and noticed the engine grill was detached and tucked up against the radiator. It was held on by 2 brackets. All the others were broken as the epoxy failed. I know there is a recall from Winnebago currently for the engine hood brackets. I assume the same epoxy was used on that. They are repairing at no charge. There is nothing about the grill.The recall is NHSTA24V-826 Winnebago 197. Is there anyone else had the grill disconnect from its brackets or a potential recall coming on that? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
