Recall 01V-298: 2002 Rialta Rialta
WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC. recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Sep 15, 2001, covering about 396 vehicles.
The problem
Vehicle description: motor homes (Models 222fd, 222qd, and 222hd). The wheel cover can rotate while mounted on the wheel.
The risk
If the cover rotates to the valve stem, a condition exists that could shear the valve stem off, leading to a rapid deflation of the tire. This rapid tire air loss could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, potentially resulting in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the rubber valve stems and wheel covers. Owner notification began october 18, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact winnebago at 1-641-585-6939.
