Our note — not the regulator’s words
NHTSA scopes this campaign to Winnebago Industries, Inc. The floorplans this notice is shown against are matched on the model name alone, with no model year, so a match means NHTSA name this model, never that a particular van is affected. An owner can settle that against their own VIN. NHTSA's notice says: “Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.” The address cited above is NHTSA's own page for the campaign.
Everything above this is the notice’s own text. This paragraph is ours, and it is here because the notice cannot be read correctly without it.
