Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Apr 28, 2023
6,536 units potentially affected
The 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.

The 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.

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR

Jun 25, 2021
1,566 units potentially affected
The 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."
The risk: If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The 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.

Other / unspecified
Filed Sep 21, 2023

This note relates to the Winnebago construction of the vehicle. The grey tank, which can hold up to 20 gallons of water, came out of its fitting under the chassis, as shown in one picture. As shown in another image, the grey tank support has come out of its fitting under the chassis. The final picture shows the lack of support provided by the thin and rusting support bar. We were lucky to have noticed the grey tank falling down while stopped. If this had fallen down at highway speeds, there's no telling what injuries and damages may have occurred. The support bar is simply too flimsy to support the weight of 20 gallons of water over time. Other vehicle owners have noticed similar issues with their grey tank coming loose and having to be re-secured. Our vehicle was inspected and repaired by a commercial truck repair company, report attached. The inspection revealed the support bar is too thin to support the grey tank and should be thicker steel. There was no warning and the only reason we knew there was an issue was because we walked far enough away from the vehicle to see there was a gap between the bottom of the vehicle and the grey tank.

Seat belts
Filed Mar 25, 2021

THE VEHICLE IS A WINNEBAGO SOLIS (CLASS B RV) THAT'S BUILT ON THE DODGE RAM CHASSIS. WE ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS, AS ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS I KNOW WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL RV. WINNEBAGO HAS ADDED TWO BENCH SEATS WITH 3-POINT SEAT BELTS. THE SEATS ARE MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED FREEDMAN. IN OUR CASE, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON A SLOPE, THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE FREEDMAN BENCH SEAT BECOME STUCK AND CANNOT BE PULLED OUT, SO THE PASSENGER CANNOT BUCKLE IN. WE HAD THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT WITH BUCKLE/HOUSING REPLACED BY A BODY SHOP WITH WINNEBAGO'S APPROVAL; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE BODY SHOP HAD TAKEN APART THE OLD SEAT BELT AND NOTED THAT THERE IS A LEVELING MECHANISM THAT'S VERY SENSITIVE. WHEN IT'S NOT LEVEL, THE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN THE VAN IS PARKED ON A SLOPE -- THE MECHANISM LOCKS UP, SO THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE BACK SEATS (IN OUR CASE MY CHILD) CANNOT PULL THE SEAT BELTS OUT TO BUCKLE HIMSELF.
