The problem
Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2022 Voyage travel trailers. The welded seam on the fabric may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.
The risk
An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the awning, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 9, 2022. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5280 ext. 5220.
