2012 New Vehicle Limited Warranty - Winnebago Journey 34Y Owner's Manual

SECTION 1 –
INTRODUCTION
Only Warranty
This New Vehicle Limited Warranty ("NVLW") is the sole and
exclusive warranty applicable to this Winnebago or Itasca motor
home made or authorized by Winnebago Industries, Inc.
("Winnebago") and provides coverage so long as the motor home is
used exclusively for recreational purposes in the U.S.A. or Canada.
Promise to Repair:
Basic Coverage
Winnebago supplied and installed parts: Winnebago promises
that any part of this motor home – except those identified in
paragraph entitled, "Excluded from Basic Coverage" – found to be
defective in material or workmanship shall be repaired or replaced at
no cost to the owner for parts, material, or labor so long as the motor
home has been used exclusively for recreational purposes and
maintained as recommended in the Operator's Manual.
Excluded from Basic Coverage: Parts, accessories, or equipment
installed, or modifications or alterations made after the motor home
leaves the factory, including items installed and modifications or
alterations made by a Winnebago dealer or third-party; a motor
home used for a purpose other than recreational use; a motor home
used outside the U.S.A. or Canada; recommended maintenance or
adjustments; service or maintenance items (such as, seals,
sealants, windshield wiper blades, lubricants, fluids, and filters);
replacement parts and repairs required because of improper load
distribution, accident, collision, vandalism, abuse, misuse, neglect,
fire, flood, normal wear, or improper or inadequate maintenance,
rust or corrosion, exposure to the elements; a part or component
covered under a warranty issued by its manufacturer (for example,
the chassis, drivetrain, wheels, tires; electronics and appliances);
and, except as noted, costs incurred in transporting or presenting
the motor home for repairs or service under this NVLW.
Basic Coverage Period: Basic Coverage begins on the date of
retail delivery, or the date on which the motor home is first placed
into service as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever is
earliest. Basic Coverage ends after 12 months or when the
vehicle's odometer registers 15,000 miles (24,135 kilometers),
whichever is sooner.
Who may obtain Basic Coverage repairs: Any person who owns
this motor home during the Basic Coverage Period.
Structural Coverage
Laminated components: Winnebago promises to cover material
and labor costs necessary to repair: structural defects in, or
delamination (separation of layers) of the motor home's floor,
subfloor, and subfloor risers (including the slide room); and
delamination of the sidewalls or back wall resulting from a failure of
the Body Thermo-Panel Lamination process (that is, the process
used to bond the exterior skin and the interior paneling to an
insulating core material).
Excluded from Structural Coverage: Delamination of the
sidewalls or back wall caused by a factor other than a failure of the
Body Thermo-Panel Lamination process, such as physical damage;
failed, improper or inadequate sealing; or failure to maintain
sealants.
Structural Coverage period: Structural Coverage begins when
Basic Coverage ends. Structural Coverage ends 36 months from the
date the vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser or first
placed into service as a demonstrator or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier, or when the vehicle's odometer registers
36,000 miles (57,924 kilometers), whichever event occurs first.

Obtaining Warranty Repairs
Except as noted in the paragraph entitled, "Factory Repair," to
obtain warranty repairs, you must, at your own cost, present your
motor home to an authorized Winnebago service facility during
normal business hours and provide a written list of items to be
inspected or repaired to the service facility and Winnebago. If
requested, you must provide records showing that the motor
home has been maintained as recommended in the Operator's
Manual. Note: As owner, you are solely responsible for
maintaining the motor home as recommended and for all
associated costs. Repairs necessitated by an owner's failure to
maintain the motor home as recommended are not covered under
this NVLW.
Factory repair: If an authorized service center is unwilling or
unable to make a warranty repair, Winnebago may request the
owner to allow it an opportunity to make repairs at another
authorized service center or at its Forest City, Iowa, factory.
Winnebago may transport the vehicle to the factory or cover the
cost of doing so. Refusal to grant a Factory-repair request voids
warranty coverage for that repair.

One-Year Limitation on Initiating a Claim
A claim for breach of this NVLW or an applicable implied

Sole and Exclusive Remedy/Damages Exclusion
Your sole and exclusive remedy in a proceeding for breach of this
NVLW is money damages in an amount equal to the reasonable
cost for material and labor necessary to repair or replace parts
that should have been done under this NVLW, but were not.
Your sole and exclusive remedy in a proceeding for breach of any
applicable implied warranty is money damages in an amount
equal to the reasonable cost for material and labor necessary to
correct the defect or defects upon which the finding of breach of
implied warranty is based.
Incidental and consequential damages – such as towing or
transport charges, aggravation, inconvenience, lost profits,
wages, or income, loss of use, vehicle rental charges, and
telephone, food, and lodging costs – are not recoverable from
Winnebago for breach of this NVLW or an implied warranty under
any circumstances. Note: Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

design and changes or improvements upon its products without
imposing any obligation upon itself to install the same upon its
products theretofore manufactured.
