ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

When it rains water runs into the engine compartment and all of my wiring is dripping water. The service manager told me that they see this problem a lot and that they don't know how to fix it. I have looked online and there are many people complaining about this. Most people think it is the cowl leaking on the bottom of the windshield. I feel like if my wiring gets wet enough that I will have a malfunction.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2019 Ram Promaster 3500 equipped with Nexen Tires, Tire Line: Rodian HT, Tire Size: 225/75/16, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side tires showed evidence of tread separation. The tires were replaced. On another occasion, the contact became aware that the rear tires had started to disintegrate. The tires were replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the tires were defective and should not have been installed on the RV. The failure mileage was 20,000. UPDATE 06/15/23- Consumer states " I had subsequent correspondence with Winnebago. They claimed no responsibility for the excessive tire wear. They stated that they buy the chassis from Promaster with those tires in place. I filed a warranty claim with Nexan. They responded that the tire warranty was null and void because these tires are not to be used on a motorhome. They provided me a copy of the warranty. The representative told me the tires had never been tested or approved to be used on a motorhome. They claim to have given Winnebago notice. There were numerous discussions with Promaster, Winnebago and Nexan. Promaster did not claim any responsibility in the matter. Their position was that they sell the chassis to Winnebago and have no knowledge of what they build on the chassis. Winnebago said that they would refer the matter to their engineering department. Nexan stated that as an act of "goodwill" they would rebate me. The point of contact with Nexan was Aaron Wilson @ 330-949-2829 ext 165. awilson@NexanTireUSA.com. He reiterated that these tires were not designed for the motorhome due to the excessive weight. Unloaded the motorhome is 9,600 lbs. The tires were never tested on this unit. He stated that he had documentation that Winnebago was advised accordingly."

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

It started to rain and my windshield wipers stopped working. Because it was raining so hard, I was forced to pull off on the shoulder of the road as there was no safe place to turn. We went to a Dodge Dealer who diagnosed the problem as a bad windshield wiper motor. They could not fix it because the item was backordered until July 13th. Because of the backorder, I am forced to drive with no windshield wipers, which is extremely dangerous.
