Winnebago TOUR in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Winnebago TOUR is named on 6 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain motorhomes equipped with an adjustable brake pedal, the brake lights could stay on when the brakes are released. If a vehicle is being towed, this could also cause the towed vehicle brakes to stay applied.Safety Risk:
If the brake lights stay on, a following driver may not recognize when the vehicle ahead is braking. Additionally, if the brakes of a towed vehicle stay applied, it could result in a loss of control. Both of these situations could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the torsion spring in the brake pedal assembly.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Winnebago Tour, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Winnebago: 208 in the register, and 594 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2019.
