Winnebago Recalls 2019-2020 Micro Minnie 5 Travel Trailers for Missing Emergency Exit Window

Winnebago is recalling 2019-2020 Micro Minnie 5 travel trailers because a bedroom emergency exit window was not installed, potentially preventing escape during an emergency.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect 'may result in serious injury or death' due to the lack of an alternate means of escape, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving life-safety features.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Towable is recalling certain 2019-2020 Micro Minnie 5 travel trailers. The recall addresses a defect where an emergency exit window was not installed in the bedroom of the vehicle.

The missing window creates a safety hazard because if occupants do not have access to the main entry door, there is no alternate means of escape provided. This lack of an emergency exit may result in serious injury or death.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right side bedroom window with an escape window free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5280 extension 5220 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
