A damaged or pinched wiring harness increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiring harness for damage, repairing it as necessary. Additionally, the harness attachment point will be relocated to provide the harness extra clearance. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on November 5, 2015.
