What’s wrong with it?
THIS RESULTS IN AN INTERRUPTION IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE CHIP HOUSING OF THE SENSOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY LOSE POWER. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE BECOMING IMMEDIATELY INOPERABLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
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.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
