2021 Winnebago Motorhomes Recalled for Power Bed Motor Failure Risk

Certain 2021 Winnebago motorhomes are being recalled because the power bed motor may fail internally, causing the bed to extend before the safety strap engages. This can result in the bed falling unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury or death.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Internal gear failure creates a real risk of injury or death from a falling bed, but no injuries are reported. This meets the rubric criterion for High severity: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
