2017 Winnebago Vista recalls
Hood Bracket May Detach, Creating Road Hazard
The adhesive securing the hood bracket on these motorhomes may have been applied incorrectly.
Turn signals may be too small to be seen, raising crash risk
Certain motorhomes built from 2013 to 2022 may have turn signal lenses with less light-emitting area than federal safety standards require.
Electrical Connector May Short and Cause Fire If Floor Gets Wet
An electrical connector in these motorhomes was mounted directly to the floor instead of to a metal standoff bracket as intended.
Fire extinguisher may fail to discharge in a fire

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.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A FIRE AND THAT SMOKE WAS FILLING THE COACH. IT WAS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. I WAS DOING MY BEST TO 'FEEL THE ROAD' TO SAFELY NAVIGATE THROUGH TERRIBLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WHILE MY WIFE WAS FRANTICALLY WIPING THE WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS WITH HER SWEATSHIRT AND NAPKINS.
