EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2013-2017 Tour, 2013-2018 Journey, 2014-2022 Forza, 2015-2016 Brave, 2015-2019 Grand Tour, 2015-2021 Vista, 2016-2018 Adventurer, Sightseer, 2016-2021 Commercial Vehicle, 2018-2021 Intent, Sunstar, 2018-2020 Horizon, Itasca 2013-2017 Ellipse, Meridian, 2014-2017 Solei, 2015-2016 Tribute, 2015-2018 Sunstar, 2016-2018 Suncruiser, and Sunova motorhomes. The turn signals may have a smaller than required luminous lens area. 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
- A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 189.
- 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 17,329 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 83% of the 18,115 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2013 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 3 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V140000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 83 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 30 complaints with NHTSA, 29 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V016000 (equipment), 24V826000 (latches/locks/linkages), 24V334000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 24V295000 (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 October 1, 2024 as campaign 24V733000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
