2023 Winnebago VIEW: complaints, problems and recalls

As of this date 9/28/22 there will be a forthcoming recall on several year models of the Winnebago View RV due to the awning deploying automatically while driving or when parked causing a serious safety issue. The latest information is that a solution has not yet been found and a recall will be issued in November. It appears that Winnebago RV recall may apply only to model year 2022, yet there has been no change in the design of the awning from 2019 through the present. All RV's with this awning design should be included in this recall !
