I got one, called my dealer and he had no knowledge of the recall. Winnebago told me that I couldn't do the repair myself and if I didn't get it done I might experience engine damage.

For what it's worth I'll throw in my experience with the front passenger slide on my 2014 Journey. It was doing all the things described in this thread and finally crunched to a halt about 1 1/2...

Dennis;
I did go to Forest City back in July, but they failed to fix the problem that was obviously the harbinger of my slide failure. I dropped the unit off today at Miller's RV in Baton Rouge,...

Yes, the lube fix is effective for up to a couple hours of travel, but in my experience, is only a band aid, not a fix. The "in-out" procedure: First, you bring the slide all the way in, then back it...

I wonder if an incorrectly installed system can be corrected? Winnebago (Forest City) said mine was out of specs, so they "fixed" it by shimming the rails. Before they did this I only had a noise,...
