Recall 26V177 affects 1,446 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Itasca motorhomes for undersized front turn signals. Repair is free at any franchised Itasca dealer.
Itasca is recalling 1,446 motorhomes from 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, including the Sunova, Adventurer, Sunstar, and Brave, because the front turn signals have too little luminous lens area. A smaller signal lens can be harder for other drivers to see, which increases crash risk, and the dealer repair is free.

What's wrong?
The front turn signal is the amber light that tells traffic ahead of the motorhome which way you are turning or changing lanes. It uses a lens with enough illuminated surface area so other drivers can see the signal from the required angles and distance.
On the affected Itasca Sunova, Adventurer, Sunstar, and Brave motorhomes, the front turn signal lens area is smaller than the federal lighting standard requires. The lamp still works as a turn signal, but its visible lens area is too small for the rule that governs exterior lighting. That is why the remedy replaces the non-compliant lights with compliant lights.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, feel, or see a separate symptom from the driver seat; the issue is the size of the illuminated lens area, so the VIN decides whether the motorhome needs the free repair.
Who's affected?
Covers four motorhome model lines across the 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 model years, all tied to the turn signal lamp assembly.
| 2019 Itasca Sunova | Turn signal |
|---|---|

| 2020 Winnebago Adventurer | Turn signal |
| 2021 Winnebago Adventurer | Turn signal |

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?
The small turn signal lens makes the signal harder for other drivers to see, which increases the risk of a crash during turns or lane changes. Until the repair is complete, signal early, check surrounding traffic carefully, and schedule the turn signal replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Itasca dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022 Itasca Sunova, Adventurer, Sunstar, or Brave is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Itasca dealer to schedule the free front turn signal replacement that gives the signal the required lens area.
- Bring the recall notice if Itasca has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V177 when you call.
- Drive with extra care until the repair is complete. Signal early, leave more space, and assume nearby drivers need extra time to see your turn signal.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Itasca technician replaces the front turn signals covered by this recall. The issue is the lens area on those signals, so the dealer remedy is a replacement rather than an adjustment. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Itasca used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign, so documented out-of-pocket turn-signal repairs paid before the recall notice can be submitted through that plan. Bring prior repair paperwork to the service desk.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 26V177?
Recall 26V177 covers 1,446 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Itasca Sunova, Adventurer, Sunstar, and Brave motorhomes with front turn signal lenses that are too small under FMVSS 108. Other drivers can have trouble seeing the signal, increasing crash risk.
What should I do if my 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Itasca Sunova, Adventurer, Sunstar, or Brave is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome is included in recall 26V177. If it is, contact a franchised Itasca dealer to schedule the turn signal replacement. Reference recall number 26V177 and Winnebago recall number 203 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and dealers will replace the affected turn signals free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for motorhomes included in recall 26V177.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced turn signal visibility. If other drivers have trouble seeing the front turn signal, they get less notice before a lane change or turn, which increases crash risk. The dealer repair replaces the turn signals for free.
When were owners notified about recall 26V177?
Winnebago expected to mail owner notification letters on May 1, 2026, and that date has passed. If you did not receive a letter, check your VIN because used vehicles and address changes can keep recall mail from reaching the current owner.
