Recall history
2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
16V161000 · Equipment:Recreational Vehicle/Trailer
Reported: 2016-03-21 (March 21, 2016) · Model years: 2016
Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2016 Winnie Drop recreational trailers manufactured from September 10, 2015, through March 8, 2016. The refrigerator compartment may not be completely sealed and thus may allow carbon monoxide to enter the main cabin.
Consequence: If carbon monoxide were to enter the main cabin, it can increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, or possible death.
Remedy: The remedy for this recall is still under development. The recall began on June 21, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5250.
NHTSA campaign record ↗16V719000 · Equipment:Other:Labels
Reported: 2016-10-07 (October 7, 2016) · Model years: 2016, 2017
Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Winnebago Winnie Drop, Micro Minnie, Minnie, Minnie Plus, Spyder, Scorpion, Destination, Instinct, and Voyage travel trailers manufactured November 9, 2015, to September 6, 2016. The weight label on the affected vehicles incorrectly states the fresh water capacity in gallons when it should be stated in pounds.
Consequence: The incorrect information may cause the trailer to be overloaded, possibly resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect weight labels with corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2017. Owners may contact Winnebago owner relations at 1-574-825-5250 extension 5220.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2016: 1 complaints · 2017: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
