Winnebago Industries is recalling certain 2022-2027 EKKO motorhomes. The touchscreen display may register unintended or phantom inputs and turn on the generator without the operator’s knowledge. More than 1,500 RVs may be affected by this safety recall, which was issued April 22.
People in an enclosed space, such as a garage, with a running generator may be at an increased risk of injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
There is no warning that precedes the defect condition. Once the generator starts, the operator may notice engine noise and vibration.
Remedy
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. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 18.
Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago’s number for this recall is 205.
