Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: 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.

The remedy: 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.

WINNEBAGO MINI CAMP TRAILER HAD THE FRESHWATER TANK FALL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF IT WHEN I FILLED IT WITH WATER. THE TANK IS MOUNTED WITH METAL FRAMING AROUND THE EXTERIOR EDGES OF A PLASTIC TANK.

WE HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH WINNEBAGO AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. WE WILL SEE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. THIS IS A BRAND NEW WINNEBAGO CAMP TRAILER WE HAD IT FOR 60 DAYS.
