Recalls on file

NHTSA has 6 recalls on file for the Winnebago Solis. The most common areas are fuel system (2), hoses, lines and piping (2) and and fittings (2). Each one is listed below as filed. A recall is fixed free at a dealer, even on a used rig, and even years later.

Recalls on the engine, brakes and chassis of a motorhome are often filed under the chassis maker, such as Ford, Freightliner or Mercedes, not under the coach. A VIN check shows both.
