Summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Solis, Travato, and Ekko vehicles, equipped with GE-ES Double Flipseats. The seat belt retractors may lock up when the vehicle is on a slight incline.

Safety Risk

If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
