What's wrong?
The propane supply hose on 2009-2012 Winnebago Chalet, Access Premier, Impulse Silver, Access, and Impulse motor homes carries LP gas from the tank assembly to the appliances that use it. That hose is supposed to stay routed away from sharp metal edges so it remains sealed while the vehicle moves and flexes.
On affected motor homes, the hose is positioned where it can contact the metal door frame. Road vibration and normal body movement can let the frame rub against the hose. Over time, that contact can wear the hose surface and weaken the line that keeps propane contained.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not list a smell, sound, warning light, or visible symptom owners can count on before the hose is damaged.
Who's affected?
Covers five Winnebago and Itasca motorhome models across the 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 model years. All use the same LPG tank assembly.

What's the safety risk?
A propane supply hose that rubs against the door frame can wear through and leak propane. If that propane ignites, it can cause personal injury or death. There is no listed warning sign before the hose wears through, so schedule the recall inspection soon and avoid using the propane system until the dealer checks it. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2012 Winnebago Chalet, Access Premier, Impulse Silver, Access, or Impulse motor home is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to ask about the free propane-supply-hose inspection, replacement if needed, and clamp installation that keeps the hose away from the metal door frame.
- Mention recall number 11V433 when you call so the dealer can find the campaign quickly.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one, and ask the dealer to inspect the propane hose before using the LPG system.
- Avoid using the propane system until the hose has been checked and routed away from the door frame.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician checks the propane supply hose for damage, replaces the hose if damage is found, and adds a clamp to keep the hose routed away from the metal door frame and other contact points. The campaign describes this service as free of charge. Contact Winnebago owner relations or a Winnebago dealer to confirm parts and scheduling for your VIN before arranging service.
