2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie Trailers Undersized Axles Recall

Winnebago is recalling certain 2021 Micro Minnie trailers equipped with undersized axles that may break under the vehicle's weight, potentially causing serious injury or death.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical suspension component. The source text indicates a specific physical failure risk—undersized axles rated 1,500 pounds below specification—with potential for serious injury or death, meeting the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' at severity level 4.

Plain-English summary

Winnebago Towable is recalling certain 2021 Micro Minnie trailers due to a critical suspension defect. These trailers were manufactured with undersized axles rated for 2,500 pounds, when they should have been equipped with axles rated for 4,000 pounds.

The undersized axles may not be capable of supporting the weight of the trailer and its load. If an axle fails or breaks due to being overloaded, it could result in loss of vehicle control, collision, and serious injury or death.

Winnebago will notify owners and dealers will replace the undersized axles with the correct 4,000 pound rated axles at no cost. The recall began December 18, 2020. Owners should contact Winnebago Towable customer service at 1-574-825-5250 to arrange service. Owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
