Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the equipment adaptive/mobility 10 times before this, most recently in February 2019 as 19V116000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V826000 (latches/locks/linkages), 24V733000 (exterior lighting).
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.
