What's wrong?
The solar panel mounting hardware on these 2022 Winnebago Micro Minnie Flx and Hike travel trailers is the set of screws and brackets that holds the roof-mounted solar panel in place. The panel depends on that hardware to stay clamped to its bracket while the trailer moves, flexes, and takes airflow over the roof.
On recalled trailers, the mounting screws have the potential to vibrate out of the solar panel mounting bracket. Once the screws back out, the bracket loses its grip on the panel. If the panel loosens enough while the trailer is in transit, it can detach from the trailer and become a road hazard.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner who sees a loose panel, missing screw, lifted bracket, or movement at the solar panel mount should stop using the trailer until the mounting hardware is inspected and repaired.

What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free butyl-adhesive-tape repair that secures the solar panel to its mounting bracket.
- Bring the recall notice if Winnebago mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V845 when you call.
- Inspect the solar panel and mounting bracket before towing, and stop using the trailer if the panel or bracket is loose.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician installs butyl adhesive tape between the solar panel and the mounting bracket so the panel stays secured to the trailer. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you previously paid out of pocket for this same solar panel mounting repair, Winnebago's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring your repair invoice, receipts, and payment records to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.
