My 2011 winnebago vista 35F has the same damage to the protective wrap of the electrical wires for the slide-out as described in the nhtsa campaign number 10v-390. However, I'm being told by the manufacturer that my vehicle IS not covered by the recall because it was built 2 months after the dates specified by the recall. What do I need to do to get this added to the recall? There IS the possibility that the fix that the manufacturer has made has not corrected the problem completely, since winnebago IS saying that my vehicle should have been corrected before leaving the factory. I have not made any repair to the vehicle yet, but was planning to make the repair myself until I saw this recall.
