2022 Winnebago travel trailers recalled for improperly welded couplers

Winnebago is recalling certain 2022 Micro Minnie, Minnie, and Voyage travel trailers because the coupler was improperly welded, which may cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle and increase crash risk.

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: This recall involves a structural vehicle defect—an improperly welded coupler on a critical towing component. While no injuries have been reported in the source text, coupler failure during towing can cause trailer separation and result in serious crashes, meeting the threshold for a Severe rating under the structural vehicle defect criterion.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Towable is recalling certain 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie, Minnie, and Voyage travel trailers. The coupler connecting the trailer to the tow vehicle was improperly welded during manufacturing.

An improperly welded coupler may fail while the trailer is being towed, causing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle. Trailer separation can result in loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles received notification letters in April 2022. Dealers will inspect and replace the coupler free of charge.
