Exterior Lighting:turn Signal 2026-03-23 · campaign 26V177000 · 1,446 vehicles
Defect: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017 Brave, 2019 Itasca Sunova, 2019-2022 Adventurer, and 2022 Sunstar motorhomes.

Risk: A small lens can make it difficult for other drivers to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 8, 2026. Owners may contact Winnebago Customer Care at 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 203.
