Winnebago Travato Recall 23V627: Awning May Extend While Driving, Raising Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 23V627, reported September 8, 2023, 8,583 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017-2024 Winnebago Travato motorhomes may have a retractable awning that extends unintentionally during transit. An awning that unexpectedly unfurls while the vehicle is moving can become a distraction for the driver or a road hazard for other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy is free. Authorized Winnebago dealers will install a parking brake interlock module and update the awning firmware. Owners who previously had their motorhome repaired under NHTSA Recall 22V-696 must also have this new remedy completed, since this recall replaces and expands that earlier one. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024.

If you own an affected vehicle, contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885 and reference Winnebago recall number 176. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your motorhome is included.
