My Van is a Winnebago Revel and I received a Winnebago recall # 24V-318. Called Meyers RV of SYR, last week and was told to bring in vehicle. Today I called Meyers to confirm that I'd bring in on 12/18/24. Rachel and service manager at Meyers now tells me it is a Mercedes Sprinter repair. MB denies it, and after going back and forth 3 times I call Winnebago National Service. National service rep Lonnie states it is Winnebago recall and to look up technical bulletin. Meyers still refuses and I go back to Winnebago national. National states district manager will contact the Meyers office, I call Albany Meyers and they agree it's a Winnebago issue, not Mercedes. Recall states to contact NHSTA and Winnebago National agrees Eventually I call another Winnebago dealership, and no problem they will inspect. WGO of SYR texts me back that they are not refusing, but now are not accepting new customers. After 4 hrs, Winnego National, says to just go with other Winnebago dealership.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
