Complaint trend
Winnebago Vista recalls
Risk: A detached hood bracket may become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Damaged wiring can cause the camera to become inoperable, disabling active brake assist, lane keep assist, and auto high beams and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A circuit board that overheats increases the risk of a fire.
Risk: A loose seat belt attachment may not properly restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Missing reflectors reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A bed that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury or death.
Risk: If the floor gets wet where the electrical connection is mounted, there is an increased risk of an electrical short and fire.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: A loose power connection may cause a build up of heat at the connection, increasing the risk of a fire.
Risk: If the steps extend while the vehicle is being driven, the steps may strike a person or another vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
Risk: If the bearings move out of position, the stowed platform may have excessive movement resulting in failure of the platform mounting. This failure could cause the wheel chair lift platform to fall out of the vehicle when the doors are opened, increasing the risk of injury for the lift operator.
Risk: If the vehicle can be shifted into reverse without the brakes being applied, the vehicle may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A stuck deadbolt could potentially trap occupants inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Risk: If the air conditioner blows out the range flame but the propane gas continues to flow, an ignition source may ignite the leaking propane, resulting in a fire.
Risk: Incorrect tire pressures or tire size may lead to a tire failure, which could result in a loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Risk: The bolts may fracture, leading to separation of the steering gear and thus a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the copper tubing fails, propane can escape leading to a fire or explosion which can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Risk: An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Risk: If this cable makes contact with the driveshaft, it could wear the protective jacket and insulation off the cable exposing the conductors to the driveshaft and electrifying the chassis, which could result in personal injury or death.
Risk: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
