2021–2023 Winnebago Ekko motorhomes recalled for blind spot monitoring failure

Winnebago is recalling certain 2021–2023 Ekko motorhomes because the blind spot monitoring system may fail without warning, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural safety system (blind spot monitoring) whose failure creates a risk of crashes. No injuries or deaths are reported; the hazard is potential. This meets the rubric criterion for High (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2021–2023 Ekko motorhomes. The blind spot monitoring system may fail without warning to the driver.

Without a functioning blind spot monitoring system, the driver may be unaware of a vehicle in their blind spot, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will install a new blind spot monitoring system free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 16, 2024. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885.
