Recall 26V1770001,446 vehicles

Problem: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017 Brave, 2019 Itasca Sunova, 2019-2022 Adventurer, and 2022 Sunstar motorhomes.

Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 8, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 203.

Recent owner complaints

Structure › Body
The front grill fell off the vehicle while driving. I was actually in the process of bringing it to a service center to have the hood bracket reattached. I had also fell off and is currently subject of a recall (NHTSA campaign number 24v826000). I was able to retrieve the grill and on inspecting the brackets that hold the grill on, there was no adherent epoxy suggesting it failed to bond correctly (which was also the issue with the hood brackets).
