Our note — not the regulator’s words
NHTSA scope this campaign to Winnebago Industries, Inc. The floorplans this notice is shown against are matched on the model name alone, because the records held here carry no model year — so a match means NHTSA name this model, never that a particular van is affected. An owner can settle that against their own VIN: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. This campaign was read from NHTSA's recalls API at https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=winnebago&model=ekko&modelYear=2023, which is the copy held here; the address cited above is NHTSA's own page for the campaign, which is the one a reader can open.
Everything above this is the notice’s own text. This paragraph is ours, and it is here because the notice cannot be read correctly without it.
