What's wrong?
The cabinet mirror in the 2018-2019 Winnebago Intent is mounted to the overhead cabinet above the driver's seat. Its normal job is simple: stay fixed in that cabinet while the motorhome is moving, vibrating, braking, and turning. Because it sits over the driver, the attachment needs to hold the mirror firmly in place.
On affected Intent motorhomes, the original attachment method was not strong enough. The mirror assembly can loosen from the cabinet and fall into the driver's seat while the vehicle is moving. Winnebago's repair adds four screws to fasten the mirror assembly to the overhead cabinet.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on rattling, visible movement, or another advance symptom before the mirror comes loose.
