2017–2024 Winnebago Travato: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017-2024 Travato motorhomes. The retractable awning may extend unintentionally during transit.

Why it matters

An awning that extends during transit may become a distraction or road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will install a parking brake interlock module, and update the awning firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 176. This recall replaces and expands NHTSA Recall 22V-696. Motorhomes previously repaired under 22V-696 will need to have the new remedy completed.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
