Read complaints for WINNEBAGO RIALTA (2002)
While driving my vehicle and coming to a stop i lost most of my braking action. I later found that the brake line to the lr caliper had separated. There was no mechanical contact, it just failed.
Upon the advice of fellow rialta owners, i did an inspection of the rear axle. Upon inspection, i found a crack in the axle casting. This will lead to a catastrophic failure and severe injury or death. The rear axle was manufactured with a weak point and this is where the crack is forming. If the axle breaks at highway speeds, it put everyone on the road in danger. I have reported to fellow rialta owners who have experience in this and they confirmed it was a crack and will fail. I sent pictures to a local rv shop who does work on my rialta and they confirmed a welded gusset will need to be installed to reinforce the weak axle. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, however, to avoid potential deaths, i will have the gussets installed by a local shop to reinforce the axle. This has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. There were no warnings or symptoms, just a proactive inspection on my part.
