What's wrong?
The emergency exit window in the bedroom of a 2019-2020 Winnebago Minnie Winnie travel trailer is supposed to give occupants a second way out. It is not a comfort feature. It is an egress opening, meaning it opens large enough for escape and is identified by a red handle and label.
On affected trailers, Winnebago did not install the bedroom emergency exit window. That leaves the bedroom without the intended escape opening in that area. The difference is visible: the correct setup has the proper window opening size, plus the red release handle and exit label.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can check the bedroom window area now, but the safety issue matters during an emergency, when the trailer needs an exit path from the bedroom.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2019 and 2020 model years for the same emergency escape or exit structure component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the entry door is blocked or unusable, occupants are left without another escape route, which increases the risk of serious injury or death. Use extra care until the window is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2020 Winnebago Minnie Winnie is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free bedroom escape-window replacement that adds the missing alternate exit.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 20V441 when you call.
- Keep the trailer's entry door clear until the repair is complete, since the missing bedroom escape window leaves no alternate exit if that door is blocked.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician replaces the right side bedroom window with an escape window so the bedroom has an emergency exit. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid for this window repair before the recall notice, Winnebago's general reimbursement plan is on file for documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork to the service desk or contact Winnebago customer service to start the claim.
