- The defect
- Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Ekko motorhomes. The touchscreen display may register unintended or phantom inputs and turn the generator on 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 are expected to be mailed August 24, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 208.
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 96 vehicles this is a small campaign: 70% 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 model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Winnebago vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 85 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V385000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 29 complaints with NHTSA, 28 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 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 July 2024, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V257000 (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 July 30, 2026 as campaign 26V498000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
