Owner report 11519212 · 2023-04-27 (April 27, 2023)
The Ford F53 Chassis built for motorhomes has a Ford Factory Advance Trac Warning System. When this system detects a fault the chassis looses Cruise Control, Hill Assists Feature, and Anti Lock Brakes. The Ford Pass App records the faults; however once the Ignition is turned off it erases the fault from the onboard computer. Ford has issue a TSB SSM51210 to reprogram the ASB Module only when the code is active. As stated before once the ignition is turned off the codes are erased. The problem with that scenario is that there are very limited d…

Owner report 11552669 · 2023-10-30 (October 30, 2023)
While driving up on the leveling blocks, 9 of them shattered. Hard plastic pieces of the blocks became shrapnel that flew across the driveway. Had I been standing where I normally do, I would have been hit by the shrapnel and suffered injury. When I tried to contact Amazon for a refund, I noticed numerous photos of broken blocks in many of their reviews. I contacted the company in July, August, and again in October to no avail. Finally, last week, I received an email from their representative, Chris Phillips, who at first told me that we had u…

Owner report 11764258 · 2026-09-14 (September 14, 2026)
The hydraulic leveling system, a Lippert system failed. The hydraulic line on the driver's front leveling jack ruptured, causing hydraulic fluid to spray on the hot engine and exhaust. The engine was immediately turned off preventing a fire. The other danger is that this hydraulic line was holding the jack UP, and could have caused the jacks to drop to the pavement but fortunately we were not moving. The hydraulic line is thermoplastic and not made for high temp locations.

Recall history
3 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
20V703000 · Equipment
Reported: 2020-11-13 (November 13, 2020)
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021 Revel, Vista, Sunstar, and Adventurer Motorhomes. The power bed motor may experience an internal gear failure, causing the bed to extend prior to the safety strap engaging.
Consequence: A bed that falls unexpectedly increases the risk of injury or death.
Remedy: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power bed motor, free of charge. The recall began December 16, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 164.

The hydraulic line on the driver's front leveling jack ruptured, causing hydraulic fluid to spray on the hot engine and exhaust. The engine was immediately turned off preventing a fire. The other danger is that this hydraulic line was holding the jack UP, and could have caused the jacks to drop to the pavement but fortunately we were not moving. The hydraulic line is thermoplastic and not made for high temp locations. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Hard plastic pieces of the blocks became shrapnel that flew across the driveway. Had I been standing where I normally do, I would have been hit by the shrapnel and suffered injury. When I tried to contact Amazon for a refund, I noticed numerous photos of broken blocks in many of their reviews. I contacted the company in July, August, and again in October to no avail.

| Steering | 1ODI 11519212The Ford F53 Chassis built for motorhomes has a Ford Factory Advance Trac Warning System. When this system detects a fault the chassis looses Cruise Control, Hill Assists Feature, and Anti Lock Brakes. The Ford Pass App records the faults; however once the Ignition is turned off it erases the fault from the onboard computer. Ford has issue a TSB SSM51210 to reprogram the ASB Module only when the code is active. As stated before once the ignition is turned off the codes are erased. The problem with that scenario is that there are very limited d… | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
