Blind spot monitoring failed, no longer works at all. Vehicle is 9 months old and 13,000 miles. This has been a very common occurrence with the last two Ekko model years. I have a 2023 Ekko on a 2022 Ford Transit Chassis. The blind spot monitoring is provided and installed by Winnebago, in 2023 Ford Chassis models Ford provides the blind spot monitoring system. Many Ekko blind spot monitoring systems have failed as indicated through other owners and through the Ekko Owners and Wannabee’s Facebook group. It appears that there is moisture contamination within the system causing a short within the control board rendering the system useless. Winnebago needs to accomplish a recall on these and install a system that will work and not constantly fail.
