3. Lights

What's wrong, in plain English: Headlights, tail lights or turn signals may not work, making the car hard to see. Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017 Brave, 2019 Itasca Sunova, 2019-2022 Adventurer, and 2022 Sunstar motorhomes. The front turn signals may have a smaller than required luminous lens area.
