2020 WINNEBAGO REVEL
ID: 2085339FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Our 2020 Sprinter (Winnebago Revel) had 13,212 miles on it when I first reported this issue. During our ownership we have experienced many failures of the Advanced Driver Assistance System, one previous failure happened when where a semi-truck was preparing to pass me and was very close behind my van, when my vans cruise control deactivated we quickly slowed down and the driver of the truck had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid an accident. When this failure happens two error messages are displayed on the instrument display behind the steering wheel, “Active Brake Assist Functions Limited see operator’s manual” and “Active distance assistance inoperative”. As of April 2025 this problem is a commonly reported issue with the sprinter van (sprinter distronic failure). It is known that the van will abruptly shut down the cruise control if the vehicle has not detected another vehicle in front of it for a specific period of time and the only way to get the system to work again is to follow another vehicle for approximately 15 minutes. My incident (above) seems to be a safety issue and was reported in a NHTSA report id # 11542979 but no one seems to take it seriously We have had the Van to the dealer and they indicate that they cannot re-create the symptom so they cannot make any attempt to repair it and will not acknowledge the problem exists even though Mercedes Bens has issued bulletins on the problem (LI.54.71-N-075673). Please urge Mercedes to correct this issue.

The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the secondary alternator was making an abnormal whining sound. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the sound increased. The RPM decreased. The battery was at 5 amps. While driving, the whining noise continued. The charge rate decreased. The charging battery was at negative 110 AMPS. There was smoke detected from the battery. The wires were melted on the alternator. The contact turned off the battery. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, who replaced the battery and alternator. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.
2023 WINNEBAGO REVEL
ID: 2057900ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The secondary alternator of our 2023 Winnebago Revel failed, was smoking heavily, and was seconds away from catching fire had I not stood by with a fire extinguishers. I noticed the issue after driving for about an hour and only noticed smoke when I had pulled into a Home Depot to park. I only noticed the smoke when I had parked (not while underway). This is a well known problem with Winnebago Revels, with many owners reporting (on Facebook Winnebago Revel 4x4 page) these Balmar 170 alternators catching fire and failing. This is an extreme fire danger and life safety issue. My safety was at risk because the alternator was in thermal runaway and was about to catch fire. I may not have noticed the issue had I been underway. The problem is well known by our dealer (Camping World, Marysville, WA) and Winnebago. I have since had them address the problem, but their solution and current procedure on this is to put back in the exact same Balmar 170 alternator! Other Revel owners are reporting this second install is also failing in many cases. No inspection to date other than that of the dealer. No warnings were given by the vehicle of the problem.
