1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Body / structure
What's wrong, in plain English: Body panels, frame, doors, hood, trunk or latches. An emergency exit window was not installed in the bedroom.
What could happen: If occupants do not have access to the entry door, there is no alternate means of escape provided which may result in serious injury or death.
The fix: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right side bedroom window with an escape window, free of charge. The recall began August 17, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5280 extension 5220.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2019 MINNIE WINNIE.
- Book a repair at any authorized Winnebago dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 20V441000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Manufacturer hotline: 1-574-825-5280.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
