What's wrong?
The fuel fill cap assembly on the 2008 Winnebago Destination and Latitude motor homes seals an unused fuel tank inlet on the Workhorse Custom Chassis fuel tank. That inlet is an opening into the tank that is not used for filling fuel on these motor homes. The cap assembly has to hold a tight seal so gasoline and fuel vapor stay inside the tank.
On affected motor homes, the cap assembly was built with the wrong hose material. That material is part of the sealing setup at the unused inlet. If it breaks down or fails to seal as designed, the unused tank opening becomes a leak path instead of a closed part of the fuel system.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a dashboard light, smell, or visible drip to appear before the cap assembly stops sealing correctly.
Who's affected?
Destination and Latitude are both listed under the same fuel system component.
| 2008 Winnebago Destination | fuel system |
|---|---|
| 2008 Itasca Latitude | fuel system |
| Units affected | 241 |
A matching 2008 model name does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak raises the risk of fire, and a fire can cause property damage, personal injury, or death. Treat any sign of leaking fuel as a reason to park the vehicle and call the dealer. Keep ignition sources away from the fuel-fill area until the repair is complete. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008 Winnebago Destination or Latitude is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to confirm the free fuel-fill cap assembly repair status.
- Ask whether the dealer coordinates the Navistar and Workhorse fuel-fill cap assembly replacement that fixes the fuel leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 11V068 when you call.
- Keep the motor home away from ignition sources if you smell fuel or see a leak, and ask the dealer about towing before moving it.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician replaces the original fuel-fill cap assemblies with assemblies built with hose material that meets the design specification. The issue is tied to the unused fuel tank inlet seal on the affected motor homes. The final dealer repair will be free once available, and parts and labor are covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm the repair path for recall 11V068 before bringing the vehicle in.
