Recalls and investigations

  1. Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchNov 1, 2024

    Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Sightseer, Itasca Sunova, 2016-2025 Forza, Vista, and Itasca/Winnebago Sunstar, 2015-2025 Adventurer, 2015-2024 Commercial Vehicle, 2015-2028 Itasca Suncruiser, and 2016-2017 Itasca Solei recreational vehicles. The hood bracket adhesive may have been incorrectly applied which can allow the bracket to detach.

    A detached hood bracket may become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

    Dealers will inspect and repair as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters began being mailed January 31, 2025. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 192.

  2. Exterior lighting, turn signalOct 1, 2024

    Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Tour, 2013-2018 Journey, 2014-2022 Forza, 2015-2016 Brave, 2015-2019 Grand Tour, 2015-2021 Vista, 2016-2018 Adventurer, Sightseer, 2016-2021 Commercial Vehicle, 2018-2021 Intent, Sunstar, 2018-2020 Horizon, Itasca 2013-2017 Ellipse, Meridian, 2014-2017 Solei, 2015-2016 Tribute, 2015-2018 Sunstar, 2016-2018 Suncruiser, and Sunova motorhomes.

As such these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

    A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 189.

    THE CARGO DOORS DO NOT STAY CLOSED. I HAD 5 INCIDENTS ON I75 BETWEEN TAMPA AND ATLANTA WHERE WE HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TO CLOSE DOORS. OUR LIVES WERE ENDANGERED AS WELL AS TRAFFIC ON EITHER SIDE OF US. WINNEBAGO DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THE DOORS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED 2 TIMES. WE HAVE ADDED BUNGEE CORDS IN THE INTERIM TO LIMIT HOW WIDE THE DOORS CAN OPEN. *DT UPDATED 10/11/18*JB
