Winnebago is recalling 112 2018-2019 Fuse motorhomes built on a 2018 Ford Transit chassis because overly long wheel studs can keep the lug nuts from securing the wheels. That can let a wheel loosen or detach and increase crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The wheel studs on a 2018-2019 Winnebago Fuse are the threaded posts that pass through each wheel. The lug nuts tighten onto those studs and clamp the wheel against the hub, so the wheel stays secured while the motorhome is driven.
On affected Fuse motorhomes built on the 2018 Ford Transit chassis with aluminum wheel feature code 63W, the studs are 12mm longer than the earlier design. The enclosed lug nut can bottom out against the end of the stud before it clamps the wheel tightly. When a technician torques the lug nut, the nut reaches the stud instead of tightening fully against the wheel, and studs were reported snapping during torque checks.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is a fit problem between the longer stud, the aluminum wheel, and the enclosed lug nut, so the owner will not feel a separate symptom before the wheel hardware fails to secure the wheel correctly.
Who's affected?
Both Fuse model years involve the same wheel fastener component, so the VIN check is the deciding step for owners.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Improperly torqued wheels can loosen and detach, increasing the risk of a crash. If your 2018-2019 Fuse is included, arrange the recall repair promptly and avoid unnecessary driving until the dealer replaces the wheel studs. Repair will be free at any franchised Winnebago dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Winnebago Fuse is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Winnebago dealer and ask whether the wheel-stud replacement is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the free wheel-stud replacement that lets the lug nuts secure the wheels correctly.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V568 when you call.
- Avoid long trips until the dealer checks the wheel studs and completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
The dealer repair is to replace the wheel studs with a shorter version so the lug nuts can secure the wheels correctly. Once the repair is open, a Winnebago technician completes that replacement free of charge. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Winnebago has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who paid for related wheel stud or lug nut work before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices and payment documentation to the service desk, or contact Winnebago customer service, to ask how to submit a claim.
