What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2016 Winnie Drop recreational trailers manufactured from September 10, 2015, through March 8, 2016. The refrigerator compartment may not be completely sealed and thus may allow carbon monoxide to enter the main cabin.

The risk

If carbon monoxide were to enter the main cabin, it can increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, or possible death.

The remedy

The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on June 21, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5250.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
