1987 Winnebago Wf Series recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-20. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Wheels / tires
What's wrong, in plain English: A wheel or tire can fail while driving. DECORATIVE REAR AXLE COVERS, WHICH ARE HELD IN PLACE BY WHEEL RIM LUG NUTS, DO NOT ALLOW THE LUG NUTS TO RETAIN THE PROPER TORQUE.
What could happen: LUG NUTS COULD LOOSEN, ALLOWING THE WHEEL TO SEPARATEFROM THE HUB, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
The fix: REPLACE DECORATIVE AXLE COVERS WITH COVERS WHICH HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY MANUFACTURED.
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 1987 WF SERIES.
- Book a repair at any authorized Winnebago dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 88V115000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
