May 14, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V216000 · 114 vehicles

Problem: Winnebago is recalling 114 my 2008 view, my 2009 era, and my 2008 Itasca navion class c motor homes built on sprinter chassis and equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft sensor in certain diesel engines could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor.
