EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:ACCESSORY GENERATOR
- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2022-2027 Ekko motorhomes. The touchscreen display may register unintended or phantom inputs and turn on the generator without the operator's knowledge.
- What it can cause
- People in an enclosed space, such as a garage, with a running generator may be at an increased risk of injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park outside until the repair has been performed. Winnebago will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 11, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 205.
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 1,537 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 63% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2027, 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 83 times before this, most recently in January 2026 as 26V052000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 106 complaints with NHTSA, 100 of them before this campaign was filed. 14 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 November 2021, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V498000 (equipment), 25V499000 (tires), 25V478000 (air bags), 24V890000 (tires).
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 April 22, 2026 as campaign 26V257000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
