STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Winnebago Travato motorhomes. The retractable awning may extend unintentionally during transit.
- What it can cause
- An awning that extends during transit, may become a distraction or road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install an on/off switch for the extend/retract awning function, and update firmware, free of charge. Owners notification letters were mailed October 19, 2022. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. This recall is superseded by Winnebago recall 23V627.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 6,540 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the structure 6 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V441000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V627000 (structure), 23V307000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V049000 (equipment), 21V793000 (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 September 16, 2022 as campaign 22V696000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
