2017–2019 Winnebago Forza recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Forza motorhomes. The exterior storage compartment door may unexpectedly open while the vehicle is in motion.
💥 The risk
If the storage compartment door opens while the vehicle is in motion, other drivers may swerve to avoid hitting the compartment door, or objects falling from within, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Winnebago will notify owners and dealers will install a new latch and the catch will be inspected and properly aligned and readjusted if necessary. Winnebago issued owners an interim notification on August 14, 2019. The recall began September 29, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
