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.

Latest Apr 19, 2017
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.

Filed Sep 15, 2016

IN ADDITION TO THE PROPANE HOSE RECALL, WINNEBAGO SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING AT THE SAME TIME ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC FAILURE OF THE LPG REGULATOR THAT IS INSTALLED IN THESE VEHICLES. REGULATOR FAILURE SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY COMPLAINTS SEEN ON THE VIA OWNERS YAHOO WEB SITE. MY REGULATOR FAILED ON THE VERY FIRST TRIP WE MADE IN OUR BRAND NEW 2015 VIA, CAUSING MUCH DISCOMFORT , INCONVENIENCE AND WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY DURING OUR FEB & MARCH 2016 WINTER TRIP IN ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO AND SEVERAL OTHER STATES. WE HAD NO WATER HEATER, NO FURNACE AND NO COOKING STOVE AND WERE FORCED TO CUT OUR TRIP SHORT AS NONE OF THE WINNEBAGO DEALERS WE CONTACTED AT THE TIME COULD WORK ON OUR VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST TWO TO THREE WEEKS. NO DEALER IN THE AREA WAS WILLING TO EXPEDITE OUR REQUEST FOR SERVICE. OUR SELLING EAGER DID SERVICE AND FIX THE PROBLEM WITHIN A MONTH AFTER WE RETURNED HOME.
