Defect description
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2015 Winnebago Vista and Itasca Sunstar motorhomes manufactured April , 2014, through June 30, 2014. The affected vehicles may be missing a damper plate on the inside air conditioner shroud.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will remove the current diverter and replace it with a damper plate, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 131.
