REASON FOR THIS RECALL

As previously communicated, Winnebago Motorhomes has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists on certain 2022 Ekko Motorhomes.  These motor homes were manufactured January 08, 2021 through December 01, 2021.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO

Please contact your Winnebago motorhome dealer immediately to arrange for an appointment to have this additional work performed.  The labor time necessary to perform this correction will be approximately 2 hours.  Please allow additional time for the dealer to process your vehicle.

Chronology :

This issue was discovered on November 21, 2021 when Product Compliance was alerted to a customer concern. An investigation was immediately launched where it was discovered the issue of leaking wastewater was already being evaluated by Product Development. Through the investigation it was confirmed that water leaking from the drainage system can reach the inverter. A total of eight field events were identified where the inverter had stopped functioning, though no thermal events had occurred. These events occurred between November 8, 2021 and December 3, 2021. Through discussion with Quality Control, a potential mold / mildew issue was also identified. It was determined the pump system allowed residual wastewater to remain in the collection box which provides an opportunity for the growth of mold / mildew. This was identified as an additional safety concern and added to the required remedy development. A meeting of the Product Safety committee was held on December 01, 2021 and the committee decided to issue a voluntary recall.
