What's wrong?
The inner wheel tire valve extension on a 2024-2025 Winnebago Ekko is the fitting that lets air reach the inner rear tire valve on a dual-wheel setup. It gives a service technician or owner access to check and fill the inner tire without removing the outer wheel. The inner tire depends on that valve staying sealed so it can hold proper air pressure.
On affected Ekkos, the valve was not bent into the required position during production. That leaves the extension close enough to contact the outer wheel while the RV is driven. The contact can damage the extension, let air leak from the inner tire, and shift extra load onto the outer tire.
What you see is physical wear at the valve extension. Look for chafing where the extension has rubbed against the outer wheel. That visible rubbing is the warning sign before the inner tire loses air pressure.

What's the safety risk?
An overloaded outer tire can fail and increase the risk of a crash. Check the tire valve extensions for chafing where they contact the outer wheel, and schedule the inspection soon if your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 Winnebago Ekko is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free valve-extension inspection and replacement that addresses inner tire air loss and outer tire overload.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V499 when you call.
- Check tire pressure before driving and stop if a tire loses air or the RV handles abnormally until the dealer repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician inspects the inner wheel tire valve extensions and replaces any damaged valve extensions that contact the outer wheels. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. Winnebago used its standard reimbursement plan, so documented tire valve extension repairs paid before the recall notice can be submitted for review under that plan. Bring receipts and repair paperwork to the service desk, or contact Winnebago customer service if the dealer asks for manufacturer review.
