WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling 418 model year 2009-2012 Winnebago Access, Access Premier, Chalet and model year 2011 Itasca Impulse and Impulse Silver motorhomes manufactured from March 5, 2008 through April 28, 2011. These vehicles may have the potential for the propane supply hose to make contact with the metal door frame.

Contact with the door frame may wear through the hose causing a propane leak, which could ignite and result in personal injury or death.
Dealers will check to make sure the propane supply hose is not damaged and replace it if necessary, and add a clamp route hose away from any unfriendly surfaces. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Winnebago Industries Owner Relations at 1.641.585.6939.
Winnebago's Safety Recall No. is 124.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1.888.327.4236 (TTY 1.800.424.9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
