What's wrong?
The spare tire on 2024-2025 Winnebago Ekko motorhomes needs the correct wheel bolts to clamp the wheel tightly to the hub. Wheel bolts do the job lug nuts do on many vehicles: they pass through the wheel and thread into the hub so the wheel stays centered and secure while the motorhome moves.
On these Ekkos, Winnebago replaced the Mercedes Benz wheels with Method wheels for normal driving. The spare tire still needs the Mercedes Benz wheel bolts, but production drawings did not call for that bolt set to be included. If the spare is mounted with the Method wheel bolts, the bolts do not match the spare wheel setup, and the spare wheel can come off while driving. The needed hex wrench was also left out, so owners were not given the proper tool for the spare bolts.
There is no warning sign before failure. The missing parts matter when the spare tire has to be installed.
Who's affected?
The listed component is the temporary or emergency spare tire, with the wheel bolt identified in the manufacturer description.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the spare tire is mounted with the wrong bolts, it can separate from the vehicle and increase crash risk. Avoid driving on the spare unless the correct Winnebago bolts and wrench are in the vehicle. Use the Winnebago kit before relying on the spare. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
