- Remedy
- Winnebago is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began during december 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101 or winnebago at 1‑641‑585‑3535.

What 2007 Itasca Suncruiser owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Windshield leaking due to the metal framework the windshields were attached to was rusted and the glass to metal seal failed. It is my understanding that in a rain storm the windshields could fail and fall out causing a safety hazard while driving.
In 2009, we discovered that water was leaking from the windshield onto the dashboard. Took it to the dealership and they applied silicone and apparently stopped the leak temporarily. Now again, in 2012 the windshield has started leaking again and it appears that the frame the windshield sets in is rusted. It is our understanding, that if this is not fixed the windshield could pop out and result in an incident that could be very dangerous. In addition, many owners of either winnebago's or itasca's (made by winnebago) indicate that rust is an inherent problem with the frames that the windshield sets in on winnebago's motorhomes.
