Winnebago recalls 2022–2027 Ekko motorhomes because the touchscreen can turn on the generator on its own
The touchscreen may register phantom inputs and start the generator without the driver knowing, so a motorhome in a garage or other enclosed space could expose people to deadly carbon monoxide.
What to do
Park the motorhome outside and away from buildings until it is repaired. Winnebago will provide a free over-the-air software update; owners can call customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885 and cite recall number 205.
