What's wrong?
The solar panel mounting hardware on a 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie holds the roof-mounted solar panel to its bracket while the trailer moves, turns, and absorbs road vibration. The mounting screw is the fastener that keeps the panel clamped to the bracket, so the panel stays attached to the trailer roof.
On affected Micro Minnie trailers, road vibration can work the mounting screws out of the solar panel bracket. Once the screws loosen, the bracket loses its grip on the panel. If the hardware fails completely, the solar panel can detach from the trailer while it is in transit.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the loosening happens at the roof-mounted hardware, an owner is not expected to feel a change from the driver's seat before the panel comes loose.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free adhesive-tape repair that secures the solar panel mounting bracket.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician installs adhesive tape between the solar panel and the mounting bracket so the panel stays secured to the trailer. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid out of pocket for a repair tied to loose solar panel mounting hardware, Winnebago's standard reimbursement plan covers documented requests. Keep receipts and repair paperwork, then ask Winnebago customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit the claim.
