    Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Winnebago Era, Travato, Minnie Winnie, Fuse, View, Trend, Aspect, Brave, Vista, Sightseer, Adventurer, Forza, Journey, Tour, Revel, Paseo, Chalet, Access, and Intent motorhomes and Commercial vehicles, and 2013-2018 Itasca Spirit, Navion, Cambria, Tribute, Sunstar, Sunova, Suncruiser, Solei, Meridian, Elipse, Horizon, Reyo, and Via motorhomes. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

    In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

THIS IS A MOTOR HOME WITH A 31 GALLON WATER TANK, A 6 GALLON HW TANK, SEATING FOR 4. MANY STORAGE COMPARTMENTS,OVER 41 CUBIC FEET OF OUTSIDE STORAGE AND MAYBE THE SAME INSIDE WITH A GOOD SIZE REFER. I CAN CARRY MORE WEIGHT IN SPEC IN SMALL CARS THAN THE VIEW G??? MY CONCERN IS MY VIEW IS OVER WEIGHT. I WOULD EXPECT ALL VIEW G LIKE MINE ARE ALWAYS OVER WEIGHT. A FAMILY OF FOUR GOING ON A TRIP WILL ON AVERAGE BE WELL OVER 1000 LBS OVER WEIGHT. YES THERE IS A STICKER THAT SAYS 960 LBS. A PERSON WILL USE THE LARGE STORAGE TO PACK FOR A TRIP. FILL THE WATER TANKS, FOOD, CLOTHES, BEADING, AND STUFF. WINNEBAGO HAS BUILT A MOTOR HOME THAT WHILE VERY NICE, ITS BY NATURE UNSAFE. I WOULD EXPECT THAT ALL VIEWS G LIKE MINE ARE OVER WEIGHT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF THE MOST POPULAR MODEL, WINNEBAGO HAD TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T BUILD A MOTOR HOME THAT HAS LESS OCCC THAN MOST SMALL CARS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS WINNEBAGO VIEW G CAB OVER BUNK.
