Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Winnebago Industries is recalling certain motorhomes manufactured between October 2008 and November 2009, including 2009-2012 Commercial Vehicle Model J38S units, 2009-2010 Adventurer motorhomes, and one 2009 Itasca Suncruiser. These vehicles are equipped with Bosch hydraulic disc brakes that may experience brake caliper piston growth when the vehicles sit unused for extended periods, which can reduce the clearance between the piston and bore and cause brake drag and overheating, potentially leading to reduced brake performance and an increased crash risk.
Freightliner Custom Chassis will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles at no cost to consumers. However, the manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy or owner notification schedule to the agency. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Winnebago at 1-641-585-3535 or Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 for more information.
