EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021 Revel, Vista, Sunstar, and Adventurer Motorhomes. The power bed motor may experience an internal gear failure, causing the bed to extend prior to the safety strap engaging.
- What it can cause
- A bed that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury or death.
- What the dealer does
- Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power bed motor, free of charge. The recall began December 16, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 164.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 242 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 50 times before this, most recently in January 2019 as 19V042000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 15 complaints with NHTSA. 4 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V177000 (exterior lighting), 24V826000 (latches/locks/linkages), 24V733000 (exterior lighting), 24V318000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Winnebago Industries, Inc with NHTSA on November 13, 2020 as campaign 20V703000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
