Winnebago Industries on certain motor homes, the cinch bolt, where the steering column connects to the intermediate shaft, was improperly tightened.
The short version
WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC. reported a problem with the steering column. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE CINCH BOLT, WHERE THE STEERING COLUMN CONNECTS TO THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT, WAS IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE BOLT THREADS BEING STRIPPED, CONCEIVABLY NOT PROVIDING A TIGHT JOINT.
IF THE JOINT IS LOOSE, THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SLIP OFF THE SPLINE SHAFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR VEHICLE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CINCH BOLT AND NUT, free of charge.
