Winnebago Recalls 2016-2017 Travel Trailers Due to Incorrect Weight Labels

Winnebago is recalling 2016-2017 travel trailers because weight labels list fresh water capacity in gallons instead of pounds, which may cause overloading.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect (incorrect weight labeling) could lead to loss of control and a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Towable is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Winnebago Winnie Drop, Micro Minnie, Minnie, Minnie Plus, Spyder, Scorpion, Destination, Instinct, and Voyage travel trailers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between November 9, 2015, and September 6, 2016.

The weight label on these vehicles incorrectly states the fresh water capacity in gallons when it should be stated in pounds. This 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, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
