2018 Winnebago Minnie Winnie recalls

Recall 17V-782: Equipment

Reported Dec 7, 2017 · 17,360 vehicles affected · Winnebago Industries, Inc

Problem: Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Winnebago Era, Travato, Minnie Winnie, Fuse, View, Trend, Aspect, Brave, Vista, Sightseer, Adventurer, Forza, Journey, Tour, Revel, Paseo, Chalet, Access, and Intent motorhomes and Commercial vehicles, and 2013-2018 Itasca Spirit, Navion, Cambria, Tribute, Sunstar, Sunova, Suncruiser, Solei, Meridian, Elipse, Horizon, Reyo, and Via motorhomes. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' fire extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Structure · reported Sep 10, 2022
Component is the RV door latch manufactured by TriMark model no. t507. The failure of this lock was that when inside the vehicle the plunger does not fully retract allowing the door to open. If you go on YouTube and search TriMark RV lock repair you will see the multiple failures of not being able to enter/exit the vehicle. In case of a vehicle fire I would not have the physical ability to find a exit. When I removed the interior of the lock there was a small broken piece of plastic. I assume this piece aided in retracting the plunger allowing the door to be open. I am greatly concerned…

Both sides of my travel trailer frame has developed cracks where a bolt goes through to connect a frame cross member from the left side of the frame to the right side of the frame near the axles. The frame is an nxg made by bal/norco industries. The cracks developed over the last 2.5 years. The trailer has less than 15,000 miles on it.

****note - need more information, requested the VIN on 4/24/2018**** bed frame support failure. Flimsy construction allowed bed frame wooden members to crack and cause support failure. Bed mattress was beginning to cave thru into lower cargo bay. I had to rebuild and strengthen the entire design for it to be safe. Other owners are reporting the same problems. This trailer was never used, and thus happened while making up the bed with sheets and blankets while on top of the mattress.
