Filed Apr 28, 20236,536 vehiclesWinnebago Industries, Inc.

Defect. Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Travato, 2021-2023 Solis, and 2022-2023 Ekko motorhomes, equipped with certain Cummins Onan QG 2800i, and Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator sets. The fuel hose between the fuel filter and Injection Pump Module (IPM) may not be properly secured, which can cause a gas leak.

Risk. A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel hose and clamps, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 2, 2023. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885.

Filed Jun 25, 20211,566 vehiclesWinnebago Industries, Inc.

Defect. Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Solis, Travato, and Ekko vehicles, equipped with GE-ES Double Flipseats. The seat belt retractors may lock up when the vehicle is on a slight incline. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Risk. If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Winnebago will work with Freedman to notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat and repair, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 23, 2021. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-614-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540.

While RV was parked for approximately10 hours along the beach in Newfoundland, Canada RV caught fire and burned to the ground. We were asleep, when we were awakened by a popping sound. When we opened our eyes, the RV was already filled with smoke. We did not hear the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide go off. We escaped at the nick of time. I knocked on the van of a neighboring boondocker for help. She called the fire department. But when the fire truck arrived, the RV was already engulfed in flames. We went to bed almost at 12 midnight, the fire happened at approximately 1:30-2AM. There were no indications of problems before we went to bed. May 2022, 2 repairs under warranty were done in California. 1)the Truma was not working properly; 2) the chassis alternator was not charging the AGM battery. My boyfriend suffered burns on his hands, neck and lips and eyelashes. He said he saw flames coming out from under our bed. We were stranded in Canada for 4 days. We lost everything: money, telephone, credit cards and passport.

Filed Jun 28, 2022PA

The contact owns a 2022 Winnebago Solis constructed on a 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 Chassis. The contact stated that the air condition unit failed to operate as needed due to a defective generator. The vehicle was initially taken to a dealer where a generator sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that upon taking her vehicle back to the dealer, she was informed that the generator did not meet the 12-inch specification clearance between the ground and generator; she was informed that the generator only cleared the ground by eight inches. Due to the defect, water from both the front and rear tires would enter the generator during inclement weather; she was also informed that the design defect could potentially lead to a fire. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied responsibility for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The consumer stated the generator was replaced and the mechanics were the ones who made the consumer aware of the clearance problems.

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.
