Winnebago Inspire Motorhome Step Well Support May Collapse When Stepped On

Winnebago is recalling 2021-2022 Inspire motorhomes because the step well cover support may be insufficient, potentially causing the step to collapse when stepped on.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: This involves a structural vehicle defect in a motorhome where the step support is insufficient and could collapse, creating a fall-injury risk. However, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text. Per the rubric, recalls with theoretical hazards and no reported injuries score at most 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Industries is recalling certain 2021 and 2022 Inspire motorhomes. The support underneath the step well cover may be insufficient, meaning it does not provide adequate structural support.

An insufficient support structure underneath the step well cover can allow the step to collapse when someone steps on it, increasing the risk of injury.
