As of approximately around the 15th of April 2023, we realized suddenly that our lithium battery in our 2019 Winnebago Travato was not being replaced with charging from our Volta alternator from driving or from our solar as it has always done. The KISAE DC to DC charger and the Volta system show an error message that they were/are ‘overheated’. Testing of the DC to DC charger shows that it’s receiving far over the correct voltage. Upon diagnostics at a RV dealership they found the alternator is being overcharged. The alternator must be replaced before it can be determined why the alternator is overcharging (since obviously safeguards are meant to be in place to prevent this). We discovered through online research of the NHTSA Recall ID Number 21V793 on Boldt 2021-22 and Travato 2019-22 with Volta Power Systems; Manufacturer; Winnebago Industries, Inc. Subject; Wire Harness Built Incorrectly; loss of over-current...

Vehicle Electronic throttle control had a malfunction and system went into limp mode on a highway at highway speeds of 70mph. The engine destroyed itself instead of limping. Lost power and almost got hit by a semi truck and other vehicles when this happened. Ended up getting a used engine due to current remanufacture costs etc. Total cost out of pocket because the dealership lied about my warranty and what was covered and for how long was around $7,000 parts lanor etc. Limp mode is dangerous and the way it happened on a highway could have gotten me or others seriously hurt or killed. Also now there is an electrical error code P0482 which is electronic coller fan issue other rams are having. All vehices in this series that have the recalled fan should be included the 2018 has issues but no recalls but has the same components of other...

The 2018 Ram Promaster 1500 appears to have a manufacture defect with the Engine Coolant Reservoir bottle. Based on my research and due to the lack of national shortage of the OEM coolant reservoir replacement (even after market are out of stock), the reservoir has a soft spot on the tank which allows coolant to leak. The leak appears to be in the same location/spot with my leak in conjunction with others who are experiencing this issue.

I BOUGHT A RAM PRO 2500 IN APRIL 2018. I START MY BUSINESS AS AN OWNER-OPERATOR AND STARTED DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS (INTERSTATE DELIVERY). AFTER 2 WEEKS, THE NAVIGATION, LIGHT AND SOMETIMES BEHIND THE STRAIGHT WHEEL DASHBOARD SCREEN STARTED TO TURN OFF (WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND USING NAVIGATION). AFTER THAT CIGARETTE LITTER DIDN'T WORK ANYMORE. I CONTACT THE SERVICE SHOP AND TOOK THE CAR TO THEM, THEY SAID IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL AND THEY SWITCHED THE FUSE OR MAYBE FUSES. I START AGAIN MY BUSINESS. THIS TIME, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT START TO NOT WORK AND AFTER A FEW DAYS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR) FIRST-DAY I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A BIG DEAL, AND IT WILL BE FIXED SOON. AFTER 3 DAYS THEY CONTACT ME AND TOLD ME: THE CYLINDER HEAD...
