# 21V-480 recall: Winnebago

These are official NHTSA recalls. A model year on a campaign is not proof a VIN is included. Owner reports are not included.

**Campaign:** 21V-480
**Manufacturer:** Winnebago Industries, Inc.
**Component:** SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR
**Filed:** June 25, 2021
**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=21V480

## The problem

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Solis, Travato, and Ekko vehicles, equipped with GE-ES Double Flipseats. The seat belt retractors may lock up when the vehicle is on a slight incline. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

## The safety risk

If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

## The remedy

Winnebago will work with Freedman to notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat and repair, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on July 23, 2021.  Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-614-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540.
