What's wrong?
The liquid propane (LP) gas supply line on 2017-2019 Winnebago Minnie trailers carries propane to the refrigerator burner assembly. The line is supposed to stay routed away from hot burner parts, and p-clamps are the small clamps that hold the hose in that position.
On affected Minnie trailers, those p-clamps are missing from the LP supply line. Without the clamps, the hose is loose enough to touch the refrigerator heater burner assembly. That contact wears or damages the rubber hose, leaving a hole in the line and allowing propane gas to leak into the refrigerator cavity.
The warning sign is visible contact between the rubber hose and the refrigerator burner case or flue tubes. If you see the hose touching those parts, the line is not being held away from the heat source the way it should be.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2017, 2018, and 2019 model years, all tied to the same LPG lines and fittings component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
When the LP supply line touches the burner assembly, heat can melt the hose and let propane leak, increasing the risk of a fire. The contact area is visible, so stop using the LP system if the hose touches the heater burner case or flue tubes and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2019 Winnebago Minnie is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free LP supply-line inspection and repair that secures the line away from the refrigerator burner.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V682 when you call.
- Avoid using the propane system until the dealer checks the LP line for melting and secures or replaces it as needed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician inspects the LP supply line near the refrigerator burner assembly. If the line shows melting, or if it is not secured correctly, the dealer replaces and secures the line with the needed clamps. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Winnebago has a general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid out of pocket for this repair, bring your repair order and payment documentation to the service desk.
