NHTSA Complaint #11608593 — 2024 WINNEBAGO EKKO

The Zamp solar charge control panel 30 amp fuse melted. The wires got very hot. The solar charging system is overheating and susceptible to fire. We believe Winnebago is aware of this issue and is documented under NHTSA Campaign Number 25V-541. We were made aware of the potential problem by a Winnebago users Facebook group. When we opened the panel to inspect the fuse, it was melted so much that we cannot remove the fuse. We weren't aware of a problem due to any symptoms. The Balmar alternator and MC-618 regulator overheated and caused the 250 amp circuit breaker to blow and then the alternator went into a lock out state. The alternator is not charging the Winnebago batteries now which impacts how we can use the RV. We cannot unlock it ourselves and there are numerous reports of this happening after Winnebago recall 174.
