2019 Winnebago View

Defect. Winnebago Industries, Inc (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2016-2019 Winnebago Era, Travato, Fuse, View, Trend, Aspect, Paseo, Via, Adventurer, Journey, Tour, and Grand Tour motorhomes. These vehicles have an auxiliary solar charging port circuit that is not fused.

Risk. If solar panels are connected and they exceed the amperage capacity of the circuit, the unprotected circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will install an inline 15 amp fuse into the auxiliary solar charging port circuit, free of charge. Winnebago issued interim notifications to owners on December 4, 2018. The recall began June 5, 2019. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885.

We have four issues needing resolution. 1-The front bumper paint is peeling. 2- The side entry door doesn’t have a stop mechanism. The door flew open and bent the connector at the top. We called for roadside help and attempted repair in Maine- it did not work. As a result we drove it to California, with a whistling door, and had another attempted repair in Sacramento Le Mesa RV-the repair is a sloppy fix and it is still bent. Wind no longer whistles through the door. 3- There is lifting on the countertop in kitchen area 4- the kitchen and bathroom have peeling veneer. This RV has been gently used and very low mileage.

When I put the car in Reverse, the display screen remains blank, sometimes it flickers on and off, and sometimes it just states "no video detected". I have replaced the core and the monitor, which only leaves the camera itself. This is a hazard to not be able to see what is behind me. I have many more receipts for this repair if needed.
