What's wrong?
The shower and sink drainage system in the 2022 Winnebago Ekko carries used water away from the bathroom shower and sink. It uses a sump pump and collection box to move wastewater out of the living area instead of letting it sit under the fixtures. The nearby inverter converts battery power for coach electrical use, so that compartment needs to stay dry.
On affected Ekkos, the pump system does not always clear the reservoir as designed. If the pump fails, wastewater backs up and overflows. A failed hose fitting also lets water leak under the drainage system. From there, water can flow through openings into the lower compartment where the inverter is mounted, creating the risk of an electrical short. Residual wastewater in the collection box also creates conditions for mold or mildew growth.
Owners can notice slower shower drainage before the system leaks. That reduced drainage performance is the warning sign to take seriously.

What's the safety risk?
An electrical short in the shower and sink drainage pump system increases the risk of a fire. Reduced shower drainage is the warning sign, so stop using the shower if drainage slows and schedule service soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Winnebago Ekko is included in this recall.
- Watch for Winnebago's owner letter if you have not received one, and ask Winnebago customer service about current repair timing.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer once the remedy opens to schedule the free shower and sink drainage pump replacement that prevents water from reaching nearby electrical components.
- Reference recall number 21V942 and Winnebago recall 165 when you call.
- Avoid using the shower or sink if you see water near electrical components, and ask the dealer whether the vehicle is safe to keep in service.
What happens at the repair
Winnebago says the dealer remedy is to replace the shower and sink drainage pump system. Because the final repair is being developed, do not assume the dealer repair can be scheduled yet. Once available, a Winnebago technician will replace the pump system and the recall repair will be free. Winnebago has a general reimbursement plan on file, so owners who already paid for this drainage system repair should contact Winnebago customer service and ask how to submit repair documentation.
