NHTSA complaint 11747672. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STRUCTURE:BODY
A panel on the roof of the vehicle detached while driving at highway speed (60MPH). The panel is held on by bolts and affixed to the roof with glue. The glue failed and the bolts do not attach directly to the roof. The panel is fairly heavy and large and would present a major hazard to a following vehicle. This has been confirmed by the dealer and the detached panel is available for inspection. There was no warning prior to the detachment of the panel. The Winnebago name for the panel is "Panel Trim Front Cap, LH #329370-01-CHT".

NHTSA complaint 11609124. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST

25,000 miles

The contact owns a 2021 Winnebago View RV built on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The contact stated while adjusting the front passenger’s seat, the contact became aware that the wiring harness was punctured, preventing the seat from adjusting forward. The RV was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 25,000.

NHTSA complaint 11533726. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We had our 2021D Winnebago View recalled due to awning issues. We had the recall done on March 8, 2023. On April 3, 2023 the awning extended out as we were going down the road at 65 mph. We had not used the awning since the recall had been done. It was taken to the Winnebago Factory on May 2, 2023, testing was done and the awning was removed. There must be something else going on because we were told the recall was done correctly.

NHTSA complaint 11520392. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
As I was traveling down the road, my awning unexpectedly extended and ripped completely off the RV. The awning was too big to load into the RV so I had to leave it along side the road in the borrow ditch. The safety of the vehicles behind me was at risk as the awning could have impaled their vehicle/windshield and seriously hurt or killed someone. The awning was not inspected by anyone because I had to leave it along side the road. There was no warning prior to the awning deployment. I took the RV to a service repair shop and they have ordered a new awning and other repair parts. Insurance has paid for the loss.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
