Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,537 of its 2022-2027 Ekko motorhomes due to a software defect in the touchscreen display. This screen can register "phantom" or unintended inputs, causing the motorhome's generator to turn on automatically without the owner's knowledge or action. Winnebago will provide a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to resolve the issue, with owner notification letters expected to be mailed by June 18, 2026.
If the generator turns on automatically while the vehicle is parked in an enclosed space, such as a garage, it can cause a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide. This creates a high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to serious injury or death for occupants or anyone nearby.
You have 2 options:
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.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
