2016 Winnebago ERA recalls
Shoulder Seat Belt May Not Hold in a Crash
A weld nut was installed on the wrong side of the bracket where the front shoulder belt attaches, which reduces the strength of that anchor point.
Overhead cabinet can detach and fall into cab
Certain 2012-2018 Winnebago ERA motorhomes may have an overhead cabinet shelf that was improperly attached.
Unfused Solar Charging Circuit Can Cause Fire
The auxiliary solar charging port circuit in these motorhomes is not protected by a fuse.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire
Certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers in these motorhomes may become clogged, making them hard to activate or preventing them from discharging as expected.
Radio Module Can Cause Engine Shutdown and Airbag Issues
Certain Winnebago and Itasca motorhomes from 2014 to 2017 have an Axxess radio volume control module that can interfere with the chassis electrical system.
Loose Power Connection Can Overheat and Cause Fire
Some recreational vehicles may have an electrical connection to the automatic transfer switch (ATS) that was not properly tightened.
LP Propane Hose May Harden and Leak, Creating Fire Risk
The high pressure liquid propane (LP) hose in certain motorhomes may harden over time, which can cause a propane leak at the crimp fitting.
Wrong tire pressure on label could cause tire failure
Certain 2012-2016 Winnebago Era motorhomes, built between November 2010 and July 2015, have a certification label that lists an incorrect front tire inflation pressure.
