What's wrong?
The rooftop ventilation fan on the 2027 Winnebago View and Navion moves air through the roof opening to help vent the living area. A printed circuit board inside the Airxcel MaxxAir fan acts like the fan's control center. It routes electrical current to the fan motor during normal operation.
On affected vehicles, the board has field-effect transistors, which are small electronic switches, that do not have enough capacitance for the current flowing through them. That electrical mismatch can make the device fail and build heat on the board. The problem is inside the fan electronics, not the roof opening itself.
The warning sign is smoke from the fan area when the circuit board is going through a thermal event. Winnebago reported no thermal events or circuit board failures from this condition before the recall decision.
