Winnebago Minnie Recall 18V682: Gas line can melt against fridge burner, causing leak and fire

NHTSA campaign 18V682, reported October 1, 2018, 1,034 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some Winnebago Minnie trailers from 2017 through 2019 may be missing the clamps that hold the liquid propane supply line in place. Without them, the line can rest against the burner assembly on the refrigerator.

If the propane line contacts the burner, the hose can melt, which may cause a propane gas leak and increase the risk of fire.

Dealers will inspect the LP supply line for melting and will replace and secure the line as needed, at no cost to you. Owners will be notified by Winnebago. To check whether your trailer is affected, contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5280, extension 5220, and check your VIN for open recalls.
