What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2011 Winnebago Vista, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
MY 2011 WINNEBAGO VISTA 35F HAS THE SAME DAMAGE TO THE PROTECTIVE WRAP OF THE ELECTRICAL WIRES FOR THE SLIDE-OUT AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V-390. HOWEVER, I'M BEING TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE DATES SPECIFIED BY THE RECALL. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET THIS ADDED TO THE RECALL? THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FIX THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS MADE HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY, SINCE WINNEBAGO IS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BEFORE LEAVING THE FACTORY. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE YET, BUT WAS PLANNING TO MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF UNTIL I SAW THIS RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 WINNEBAGO VISTA RV. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL DURING THE DAY BECAUSE THE DAY LIGHT CAST A DARK SHADOW OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COVER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. THE RV WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,223.

STRUCTURAL ROOM SLIDE GEARS, AND TEETH CORRODED OFF MAKING THE ROOM UNABLE TO FULLY LOCK INTO PLACE. WE BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE THE ROOM TO SHIFT OPEN DURING TRAVEL. *TR
