The short version

WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES INC. reported a problem with the rear springs. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

THE SUPPLIER OF THE REAR SPRINGS ROLLED THE SPRING EYE DIAMETER OUT OF TOLERANCE DURING PRODUCTION, AND THEN CORRECTED THE DIAMETER WITHOUT HEATING THE PARTS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A CRACK OF THE SPRING EYE OVER TIME.

WHY IT MATTERS

IF A SPRING EYE WERE TO CRACK, THE REAR SPRING COULD COLLAPSE, SUDDENLY UPSETTING THE VEHICLES HANDLING, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHAT TO DO

SPRINTER/DAIMLER DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR SPRINGS AS NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE.
