Recalls and investigations

  1. Equipment, recreational vehicle/trailer, lpg systems, lines and fittingsOct 1, 2018

    Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Winnebago Minnie Drop recreational trailers. The liquid propane (LP) gas supply line may be missing p-clamps, allowing the supply line to contact the burner assembly on the refrigerator.

    If the LP line contacts the burner assembly, the hose may melt, causing a gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

    Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the LP supply line for melting, replacing and securing the line as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 7, 2019. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5280, extension 5220.

  2. Equipment, other, labelsOct 7, 2016

    Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Winnebago Winnie Drop, Micro Minnie, Minnie, Minnie Plus, Spyder, Scorpion, Destination, Instinct, and Voyage travel trailers manufactured November 9, 2015, to September 6, 2016. The weight label on the affected vehicles incorrectly states the fresh water capacity in gallons when it should be stated in pounds.

    The incorrect information may cause the trailer to be overloaded, possibly resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

    Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect weight labels with corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2017. Owners may contact Winnebago owner relations at 1-574-825-5250 extension 5220.
