What's wrong?
The microwave circuit in the 2024-2025 Winnebago Minnie is the dedicated electrical path that feeds power to the microwave. Its breaker is supposed to shut the circuit off before the wire carries more current than it is built to handle. That protection matters because the wire, not the microwave, sets the safe limit for the circuit.
On affected Minnie trailers, the microwave was connected to a 20 AMP breaker even though the installed wire was sized for a lower circuit load. If the microwave circuit draws too much current, the breaker lets the wire stay energized past its safe limit. The wire can become overloaded instead of being protected by the breaker. Winnebago traced the mismatch to a wire change after Minnie production moved to a different plant.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to see a light, hear a sound, or notice a change in microwave operation before the circuit is overloaded.
Who's affected?
The defect is attached to both the microwave/vent hood and electrical systems because the same breaker is involved.

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?
An overloaded wire increases the risk of a fire. Until the breaker is replaced, avoid adding electrical load to the affected circuit and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 Winnebago Minnie is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free 15 AMP breaker replacement for the microwave circuit.
- Avoid using the microwave until the repair is complete, because the incorrect breaker can let the wire overload.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V617 when you call.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician replaces the 20 AMP breaker serving the microwave circuit with a 15 AMP breaker. That repair is free under the recall, and parts and labor are covered. If you paid out of pocket for a related breaker or wiring repair before the recall notice, Winnebago's standard reimbursement plan covers documented requests. Keep invoices, receipts, and any repair order that shows the microwave circuit or breaker work.
