What's wrong?
The LP hose on the 2016-2017 Winnebago Travato is part of the recreational vehicle's liquid propane system. It carries propane through the coach so propane-powered equipment has a sealed fuel supply. That hose needs clearance from moving parts because it is a flexible fuel line, not a rub point.
In affected Travatos, the LP hose is routed close enough to the emergency brake cable that the two parts contact each other. The emergency brake cable moves when the parking brake is used, and that motion can rub against the hose. Over time, the contact can damage the hose wall until propane leaks from the line.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem can be present until an inspection finds the hose touching the brake cable, or until the hose has already been damaged and is leaking propane.
Who's affected?
Applies to Travato motorhomes manufactured from April 17, 2015, through January 24, 2017, across the 2016 and 2017 model years.

What's the safety risk?
A propane leak increases the risk of a fire or explosion. Avoid using LP gas systems until the hose has been inspected and secured, and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016-2017 Winnebago Travato is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free LP-hose inspection and securing repair that keeps the hose away from the emergency brake cable.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V108 when you call.
- Stop using the LP system and leave the vehicle if you smell propane before the repair.
- Call Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885 if you need help finding a dealer.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician inspects the LP hose routing and moves the hose so it stays clear of the emergency brake cable. The technician then secures the hose to prevent contact that can damage the line. The inspection and repair are free under the recall. Winnebago also says it will reimburse customers who already paid to have this condition corrected. Bring repair invoices, receipts, and related paperwork to the service desk, or contact Winnebago customer service if the dealer asks for the claim to go through the manufacturer.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V108?
Recall 17V108 covers 1,058 2016-2017 Winnebago Travato recreational vehicles with an LP hose that can contact the emergency brake cable. That contact can damage the hose and cause a propane leak, increasing the risk of a fire or an explosion.
What should I do if my 2016-2017 Winnebago Travato is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Travato is included in recall 17V108. If it is, contact a Winnebago dealer to schedule the inspection. The dealer will reposition and secure the LP hose so it does not contact the brake cable. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the defect repair at no cost, and Winnebago's remedy states that dealers will inspect the vehicle, reposition the LP hose, and secure it away from the brake cable free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is a propane leak near the LP hose and emergency brake cable area. A propane leak can increase the risk of a fire or an explosion. Until your VIN is checked and the repair is complete, avoid using propane systems if you smell gas or suspect a leak.
What if I bought my Winnebago Travato used?
