Oct 15, 2023Structure › Body Coach door hinge (strut) came loose on a trip from OH to main in 2023. (Wind and rain was penetrating into the coach). We feared that the door would completely blow open. We called a roadside repairman who tightened it but could not repair the strut or make the seal tight. Once returned to Ohio we took it to have it repaired- some adjustments were made however the door continues to loosen with use. Seal and strut were not working as they should. However, due to job transfer, we had to drive the RV across country from CA to OH in 2024. Due to health issues the RV has been in storage until a month ago. We then took our RV to Mesa RV in Davis, CA-Their suggested solution is that we slam the…

Jun 15, 2024Unknown or other Plexiglass window on house door to RV separates. This is a known issue to Winnebago which has provided warranty coverage for up to three years, even though the problem typically manifests at or after three years. The window separates from the house door either partially or completely - in the latter case - causing the window to fly off and pose a threat to other drivers. The sudden separation of the window is a safety issue to occupants of the RV since it may not be immediately apparent what the problem is while driving at interstate speeds. There are no warning lights for this window. The problem appears many times on the View/Navion 2020 owners webpage. Winnebago says the window is…

Sep 9, 2022Unknown or other I own a 2020 Winnebago View 24D that has a curbside awning system by Carefree that is identical to the awning referenced in the NTHSB Recall Notice 22V-695000. This awning system has been used on all 2020+ Winnebago View models. I have experienced multiple uncommanded partial awning deployments and recently when turning on the generator the awning cycled partially in and out 6 times. Often the generator is used to help cool the coach while driving at highway speeds. If this were to happen it would be a safety issue for us as well as possibly other vehicles on the road.
Sep 11, 2022Unknown or other I own a 2022 Winnebago View that has a curbside awning system installed that is identical to the awning referenced in NTHSB Recall Notice 22V-695. The Winnebago View models since 2020 all use the same awning not just the models listed in your recall. I have experienced 2 uncommanded partial deployments of the awning. I was able to retract both times. The awning occasionally wont extend either but eventually it does with normal use of awning controls. Many other owners are experiencing the same issues as the message boards on social media (Facebook - View/Navion Motorhomes)are full of these reports. I feel that all of these vehicles mentioned above should be included in the NHTSB Recall.
Apr 30, 2020 · 8,000 milesStructure › Body 2020 VIEW IS ALL NEW DESIGN INCLUDING THE COACH DOOR WHICH IS THE MAJOR EXIT FOR NORMAL USE AS WELL AS EMERGENCIES. THE DOOR'S LOCKING MECHANISM FAILS IF AN ATTEMPTS IS MADE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOOR NOT LOCKING OR STAYING CLOSED.
