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 5,369 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, 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 equipment 62 times before this, most recently in February 2023 as 23V049000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 6 of the 17 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 86 complaints with NHTSA, 36 of them before this campaign was filed. 17 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2020, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V257000 (equipment), 26V089000 (structure), 24V824000 (structure), 24V541000 (equipment).
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 15, 2023 as campaign 23V637000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
