ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Winnebago serial number: [XXX] This vehicle has already had the recall work done as described in NHTSA Campaign Number 23V-234. This work was performed at NIRVC in Las Vegas on or around February 7, 2024. Their work was excellent, however the Balmar alternator has once again failed. The prior electrical system recall was completed at the factory service center in Forest City Iowa. Additional service was performed before the recalls were issued at Colonial Airstream (selling dealer) in New Jersey and at Roam Rig in Connecticut. Please pressure the manufacturer to revise the recall and fix what has been a never-ending headache for almost all owners, since purchase. Thank you.

Defect Description:
TIRES
Potential Consequences:
Belt separation occurred at legal highway speed, specified inflation pressure, and within load parameters of the vehicle. Many other owners have reported the same occurring. The belt separation caused the tire to be out of round and caused severe vibration. We recognized the problem because of similar reports from other owners, pulled off the road, and exchanged the tire for the spare. Within a few days we were able to procure seven new tires and have them installed. Discount Tire on Ben White in Austin probably discarded the old tires but confirmed that there was belt separation. You could see the bulging in a couple places on the tread. If we had suffered a blowout, as some other owners of this model have, it would have been life-threatening at Texas highway speeds of 75 mph.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Selling dealer preformed NHTSA #24V942000 Winnebago Ekko Recall # 165 in January 2022. The repair procedure held up delivery of the vehicle for months. A serious defect in their workmanship that could compromise the intended goal of correcting a potential hazard to nearby electrical components was later identified by me & reported to the dealer, and manufacturer. The dealers response was to deny that they performed the recall and reject that the area of concern, a sink drain line connection was part of the recall. I made it glaringly apparent that they were wrong in both regards & the dealer stopped responding to my request to correct. Reference WGO- Instructions To Perform Recall Campaign 165, pg 18 steps 74-77. I reported it to the manufacturer & in October 2023, after traveling 3400 miles round trip to the Winnebago factory service center, the defect was corrected. The dealer also failed to properly inspect or implement Winnebago Recall 7301, a correction of undersized battery cabling posing a serious electrical hazard. That also had to be reinspected and corrected on another visit to the manufacturer in March 2023. In reporting each of these instances to the manufacturer, the ultimate responsible party, I sensed a lack of interest from their representatives for their contracted agent's safe implementation of the necessary safety related repairs. These repair failures resulted in unnecessary inconvenience, potential safety risk to life and/or property and required us to take extraordinary measures to deliver the vehicle to the manufacturer twice within approximately 6 months for corrections. The dealer has failed to follow the manufacturer's clear & precise recall procedural protocols, approved by NHTSA and has shown a pattern of disregard for our safety. In the interest of public safety, I would hope that NHTSA would audit the offending dealer's service repair record related to Campaign #21V942000 and require an independent review for similar defects.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
After numerous prior repairs & recalls related to the Balmar Aux. charging system installed in our Ekko model RV by Winnebago, we again returned to the factory service center for the second time this year to have the latest recall, NHTSA 23V-234 WGO Recall 174 completed. After the third day in the shop for the Balmar recall & other repairs the vehicle was returned to me. The tech advised me that 1 lithium battery from the dual set had to be replaced. After a quick visual inspection in the tech’s presence I pointed out several workmanship issues that required the coach to go back into the shop to correct before shop closing. That evening I drove the coach onto blocking to visually inspect their unseen work. I found several issues including a loose terminal connection of a high current 3/0 B+ battery cable at the newly installed alternator and an unsecured cable bundle dangling under the engine. I informed the service supervisor of my findings via email that evening & the next morning our coach was again taken into the shop for further recall corrections. That afternoon WGO insisted that I inspect the coach before they released it back to me for the third time. The coach was on the ground limiting my abilities so I accepted the vehicle with their assurance of a job done right. I next discover since the recall & one battery replacement, the batteries discharge at an uneven rate. After my emailing Lithionics it was decided to have WGO recharge each battery individually to try to balance the chemistry. That required a weekend stay & on Monday the tech completed the request. After returning the coach to me for the fourth time, I asked if he verified the batteries operation, he said he had not & we left in disbelief. Now, while discharge testing at about 1.9kw on our 2kw inverter the old batt discharge is 101A, the new is 50A, which is a serious problem. WGO tells me to go the local dealer which is no option. Looked like a good upgrade just very poor execution

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
Lack of a functioning blind spot monitoring (BSM) system nearly resulted in a rollover crash at freeway speed. At night, attempting to change lanes to the right, the driver was surprised by a car passing on the right. Driver's evasive action was too extreme resulting in violently veering across the freeway several times before control was regained. The BSM system on this RV did not work upon on delivery when new. This is a widespread problem with Winnebago EKKOs. Three repair attempts by the dealer have failed to fix the system on our EKKO. The original manufacturer Winnebago has refused to supply the dealer with a complete replacement system, requiring us to make repeated service appointments. Each repair attempt halted after a new part was installed leading to the discovery of yet another failed component and more time without a functioning BSM. We have not had a functioning BSM for 14 months.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
the blind spot monitoring system has never worked correctly. Originally when a vehicle appeared in the left hand (driver side) blind spot, the right hand warning light (indicating vehicle in passenger side blind spot) would illuminate - then vice versa. A vehicle in the passenger side blind spot would result in the driver side warning light illuminating. This would cause the driver to think that there was a vehicle in a blind spot on the wrong side of the vehicle. if acted on the driver could maneuver in a way that would cause rather than avoid an accident. The dealer from whom I bought the vehicle (National Indoor RV Center of Lawrenceville GA) has tried twice without success to rectify the issue. The last time the unit stopped working completely (which is better than it working in reverse) On the owners facebook group failures of the blind spot monitoring system are a common occurence, as such I believe NHTSA should be informed. For me personally no actual accident occurred although shortly after taking delivery of the vehicle I did have a near miss.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
The Blind Spot Warning system on my 2022 Winnebago Ekko has completely failed two times. Both failures occurred after driving in wet weather. The system components appear susceptible to shorting out when exposed to water. Anecdotal evidence via social media posts from other Ekko Owners suggest this is a very common issue on Winnebago Ekkos.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Potential Consequences:
Winnebago factory installed Blind Spot Monitor System did not work since purchase, after local dealers failure to repair this and other defects, out of frustration we drove it 3000+ miles to the WGO factory repair center located in Forest City, IA. BSM was repair by WGO on invoice #02942R dated 3-13-23 under warranty. BSM module was replaced, 2A protective fuse installed and wiring connections corrected. 10 days later during return trip home BSM failed while driving in heavy snow. Contacted WGO factory service supervisor with failure details and was told we could either bring it back or take it to the local dealer again. Local dealer repaired per their repair order Doc #190571 dated 6-23-23. After being advised it was repaired we picked it up and it did not work from dealers lot. Emailed WGO supervisor, dealer service manager & service advisor. Local dealer has not responded as of 7-5-23, 10 days later. WGO supervisor responded to take it back and have the dealer work with our tech department. I had previously given the dealer all of the factory contact info I have and they are in-fact a WGO Flying W certified repair facility. This is a safety issue and a defective factory installed accessory that continues to be an unresolved issue. In researching I found on Facebook under the group- Winnebago Owners & Wannabes a 5-19-2022 BSM failure survey in which 105 owners responded the following- 30% No Problems, 29% Stopped working after driving on wet roads, 7% Stopped working after driving in snow/salt, 24% Never worked, 1% disconnected because of annoyance, 9% Combined, stopped working after other or works intermittently. I did not respond but would have been in the Never has worked section. This and all the online chatter would seem to indicate a high rate of units either not working at delivery or failing sometime after deliver. This is a Voyager System integrated into a Ford Transit chassis by Winnebago. I would like to see these systems correctly repaired
