The short answer

NHTSA received Winnebago Industries, Inc.’s report on Mar 2, 2023. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Missing reflectors reduce the vehicle’s visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Winnebago Industries, Inc.

(Winnebago) is recalling certain 2023 Adventurer, Vista and Itasca Sunstar motorhomes.

The motorhomes may be missing the rear reflectors.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
