What's wrong?
The Axxess radio volume control module in these 2014-2017 Winnebago Via, View, Navion, Era, and Reyo motorhomes is an added electronic module tied into the radio controls and chassis electrical system. Its job is to let the radio volume control feature communicate without disrupting the vehicle's main electrical network. That network also supports the chassis computer system, so clean communication matters.
On affected motorhomes, the Axxess module does not communicate with the chassis computer system correctly. Winnebago traced customer and dealer reports of chassis electrical abnormalities back to this module after replacement parts did not stop repeat problems. When the module is removed from the chassis electrical system, the other chassis systems function normally. Winnebago no longer offers this module as a feature.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can see different chassis electrical problems without a clear pattern that points to the radio volume control module.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician disconnects and removes the Axxess radio volume control module so it no longer interferes with the chassis electrical system. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered by Winnebago. Winnebago has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for this recall repair. If you have prior repair paperwork, contact Winnebago customer service at 1-800-537-1885 and ask how to submit documentation under that plan.
