What's wrong?
The alternator control wire harness on the 2019-2022 Winnebago Travato and Boldt is the bundle of wires that carries electrical power and control signals between the alternator charging system and the coach power system. Overcurrent protection is the fuse or similar circuit protection that stops excess electrical current before a wire overheats. The harness depends on that protection being built into the right place.
On affected Travato and Boldt vehicles, the harness was built incorrectly, which removed that overcurrent protection from part of the circuit. If an electrical fault sends too much current through that section, the wiring is left without the intended safeguard. That condition lets heat build in the harness instead of being stopped by the protection device.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is inside the alternator control wire harness, so an owner should not expect a dashboard message, noise, or visible change before the wiring problem creates heat.

What's the safety risk?
NHTSA campaign 21V793 says loss of over-current protection can cause wiring to overheat, increasing fire risk. Follow Winnebago's instruction to keep the vehicle parked until the Volta Power System is disabled, then arrange the harness replacement and electrical-connection inspection. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2022 Winnebago Travato or Boldt is included in this recall.
- Do not drive the vehicle until the Volta Power System is disabled.
- Arrange a tow if the vehicle has to be moved to the dealer; do not drive it there yourself.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free wire-harness replacement and electrical-connection inspection that restores over-current protection.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 21V793 when you call.
What happens at the repair
Do not drive the vehicle until the Volta Power System is disabled. At the dealer, a Winnebago technician replaces the harness and inspects the electrical connection for the Volta Power System. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If the vehicle needs to move before that system is disabled, ask the dealer about towing. If you already paid for this same harness or electrical connection repair before the recall notice, ask Winnebago customer service or the dealer how to submit documented costs under Winnebago's general reimbursement plan.

What should I do if my 2019-2022 Winnebago Travato or Boldt is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 21V793. If it is, contact a franchised Winnebago dealer and ask about disabling the Volta Power System before the next trip. The dealer will replace the harness and inspect the electrical connection for free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Winnebago's remedy states that dealers will replace the harness and inspect the electrical connection free of charge.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is wire overheating and fire. The affected harness lacks proper over-current protection, so the electrical wiring can overheat under fault conditions.
