Example complaints

Electrical system: “We had reported on Sat, 3/21/26 to Winnebago that we noticed our Balmar alternator had stopped charging the battery the night before on Fri, 3/20/26 during a 2.5 hour trip to Sebastapol, CA. We drove to Santa Clara, recharged batteries with shore power and then drove to Santa Cruz, CA. This morning on Sun 3/22/26, our 2nd Balmar Alternator installed by NIRVC/Las Vegas in Mar-April 2024 under the 174 Recall caught on fire. …”

NHTSA complaint #11726205, filed 2026-03

Lane departure: “When we purchased our EKKO in Sep 2022, the blind spot monitoring system worked, notifying us by beeping & lights on the sides of the cab if cars were in the blind spot areas. Approximately 2-3 months after we took EKKO possession, the notifications from the blind spot monitoring system stopped. Winnebago has acknowledged the problem, changing the BSM system in some newer models. We have an upcoming dealer appointment for attempted repair.”

Other or unknown: “After starting the vehicle I noticed an unusual whine. After a few seconds of idling I noticed that it smelled like something was on fire. I turned off the vehicle and began looking for smoke. I did not find it. After a little research I discovered that it is a very well known failure that the Balmar alternator on Winnebago EKKOs fails catastrophically, sometimes catching on fire. I followed instructions to disable the Balmar. I let the vehicle cool completely. I restarted the vehicle and let it idle for a long while and the whine and the smell never returned. …”

Equipment: “When at the Winnebago factory service center for other recalls and repairs, technicians found that the propane line going from the regulator at the tanks to the cooktop in the kitchen was worn and frayed, having rubbed against the rear tires for more than 15,000 miles. They said it was a safety hazard and had to replace the line and ensure it would no longer rub against the tires.”
