Winnebago Recalls 2018-2019 Fuse Motorhomes Due to Wheel Stud Defect

Winnebago is recalling 2018-2019 Fuse motorhomes because wheel studs may be too long, preventing lug nuts from securing wheels properly and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (wheel studs) that can lead to wheel detachment and crashes, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Fuse motorhomes built on a 2018 Ford Transit chassis and equipped with the aluminum wheel feature code 63W. The defect involves wheel studs that may be too long, which prevents the lug nuts from properly securing the wheels.

Wheels that cannot be torqued properly may loosen and detach, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the potential for wheel detachment presents a significant safety hazard.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheel studs with a shorter version free of charge. The recall began on August 23, 2019. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885, or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
