Plain-English summary

Winnebago Towable is recalling certain 2017-2019 Winnebago Minnie Drop recreational trailers. The recall involves 1,034 units where the liquid propane (LP) gas supply line may be missing p-clamps. This defect allows the supply line to contact the burner assembly on the refrigerator.

If the LP line contacts the burner assembly, the hose may melt, causing a gas leak and increasing the risk of a fire. 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 on March 7, 2019.
