2018–2019 Winnebago Fuse recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Fuse motorhomes built on a 2018 Ford Transit chassis and equipped with aluminum wheel feature code 63W. The wheel studs may be too long, preventing the lug nuts from properly securing the wheels.
💥 The risk
Wheels that cannot be torqued properly may loosen and detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wheel studs with a shorter version, free of charge. The recall began August 23, 2019. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-641-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885. Winnebago's number for this recall is 159.
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.)
