2016 Winnebago Instinct recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Winnebago Towable (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2016 Instinct trailers manufactured January 12, 2016, to February 29, 2016. The affected trailers may have an inadvertent "I" stamped as the fifth character in the VIN number.
💥 The risk
No direct safety risk exists but an accurate VIN is required to verify trailer applicability for any future safety recalls.
🔧 The fix
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will install a new VIN plate over the incorrect VIN plate, free of charge. The recall began on April 19, 2016. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-574-825-5250.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
