What's wrong?
The spare tire carrier on 2021-2023 Winnebago Micro Minnie Flx travel trailers is the bumper mounted bracket that holds the spare tire at the rear of the trailer. Its tire hoop supports the tire, while the vertical tube and welds keep the assembly braced against road vibration.
On affected trailers, the tire hoop on the carrier is too long for the off-road style spare tire. The tire sits past the vertical tube instead of resting against it, so normal road movement sends extra vibration through the carrier. That vibration strains the vertical tube and supporting welds until the carrier assembly fails. NHTSA campaign 23V891 covers the risk that the spare tire carrier can detach from the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on noise, looseness, or visible movement to confirm whether your trailer is included.
