Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The solar panels on this RV are wired to the solar controller through a 30amp fuse. The fuse holder gets extremely hot during peak solar charging in the afternoon. In order to inspect the 30amp fuse I removed it and it appears to be partially burnt. I am concerned about the heat that is generated at this fuse and fuse holder and I am aware of other Winnebago Ekkos reporting similar findings. I will leave the fuse removed until further notice from Winnebago.”
NHTSA complaint #11608475, filed 2024-08“A fuse between the solar panels and solar controller melted and caused it to flame up. The incident could have caused a major fire. The problem has occurred on other units with various other owners. No. Winnebago is aware of the incident but we have not heard anything from them. There were no indications that this was going to happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11608429, filed 2024-08“the fuse behind the Zamp solar controller on our 25 Ekko 23B melted and caused a fire inside the cabinet above the fridge. This resulted in significant damage to the solar controller, wires and the cabinet itself. Not to mention the strong and persistent smoke smell inside the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11608068, filed 2024-08“The 30amp electrical fuse connecting the solar panels to the Zamp 40amp controller melted. Lichtsinn Motors, the dealer, was notified and sent pictures of melted fuse. CoachNet technical support was also called, spoke with technician and pictures of melted fuse sent. Detailed message left with Winnebago. Customer service agent said Sept 13th was the notification date for the recall however they have no solution yet.”
NHTSA complaint #11605234, filed 2024-07“Short Answer: Winnebago has not conformed to its obligations with respect to NHTSA Safety Recall # 24V-541 (Winnebago # 186). Our 2025 EKKO 23B was within the scope of NHTSA Safety Recall # 24V-541 (Winnebago # 186). Winnebago did not offer to us a remedy -- other than to disable for an indeterminate length of time the solar charging system to which the recall applies -- within a reasonable time of their discovery and announcement of the recall. …”
