What’s wrong with it?
An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire. A hydraulic fluid leak can result in a loss of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Winnebago Industries, Inc.
(Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Grand Tour and Journey motorhomes.
The battery cables and hydraulic lines on these vehicles may not be properly secured, allowing them to contact the driveshaft or exhaust system, potentially resulting in an electrical short or hydraulic fluid leak.
