Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain Ekko motorhomes from model years 2022 through 2027. The touchscreen display in these vehicles may register unintended or phantom inputs, which can cause the generator to turn on without the operator's knowledge.

If a motorhome with an activated generator is parked in an enclosed space such as a garage, occupants may be at increased risk of injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Approximately 1,537 Ekko motorhomes are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 18, 2026.

Owners should park their motorhomes outside until repairs are completed. Winnebago will provide a free over-the-air (OTA) software update to address the touchscreen issue. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885, or reference Winnebago recall number 205 for more information.
