Recalls and investigations
Exterior lighting, turn signalMar 23, 2026
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017 Brave, 2019 Itasca Sunova, 2019-2022 Adventurer, and 2022 Sunstar motorhomes. The front turn signals may have a smaller than required luminous lens area. 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 May 8, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 203.

Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Engine, Oct 29, 2022
Note: this 2022 vehicle has a 2021 Ford F53 Chassis. Beginning in early 2022, with about 4,000 miles on the RV, the “Service Advance Trac” warning light comes on suddenly and intermittently, but it is on the vast majority of the time, which disables the Traction Control, Hill Assist, and Cruise Control functions. In 2022 Ford issued Bulletin “SSM 50767 - 2020-2022 F-53 Motorhome – Illuminated Electronic Stability Control Indicator With DTC C0051 And Inoperable Cruise Control,” which stated that its engineering department was working on a solution, which they expected to be available in the third quarter of 2022. In October 2022 were advised that they had issued a fix and had that installed on October 24 at an authorized Ford repair shop. However, the fix immediately failed. It appears this problem exists with many other motorhomes having the F-53 chassis.
