The problem
Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021 Micro Minnie trailers. These trailers were built with undersized axles that may not support the weight of the vehicle and could break.
The risk
If the axle breaks, it could result in serious injury or death.
The fix
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 2,500 lb rated axle with the correct 4,000 lb rated axle, free of charge. The recall began December 18, 2020. Owners may contact Winnebago Towable customer service at 1-574-825-5250.
