EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2023 Adventurer, Vista and Itasca Sunstar motorhomes. The motorhomes may be missing the rear reflectors. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Missing reflectors reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install the reflectors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 11, 2023. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 173
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 22 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 2 times before this, most recently in April 2011 as 11V217000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V826000 (latches/locks/linkages), 24V613000 (electrical system), 24V295000 (equipment), 23V365000 (seat belts).
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 March 2, 2023 as campaign 23V140000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
