Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Winnebago Industries is recalling approximately 2,193 of its 2021-2025 Ekko motorhomes due to a design flaw in the solar charging system. The system lacks sufficient over-current protection, which can lead to circuit overheating and melted fuses. Winnebago dealers will replace the solar controller fuse and related components free of charge to resolve the issue.

Risk

The solar charging circuit can overheat and melt the fuse during operation. A melted fuse significantly increases the risk of a fire within the vehicle's electrical system.
