What's wrong?
The cooktop burner in a 2025 Winnebago Minnie travel trailer is supposed to hold a steady flame above the burner ports while you cook. The furnace is a separate propane appliance that heats the living space. These appliances need physical separation so heat, flame, and furnace airflow stay in their own areas.
On affected Minnie trailers, the cooktop is installed where it is not completely sealed from the furnace. When the stove and furnace run at the same time, airflow or pressure between those spaces can disturb the burner flame. Instead of staying above the burner, the flame can invert and pull back toward the cooktop opening.
There is no warning sign before failure. The burner can look normal before both appliances are used together, so a normal flame during a quick check does not rule out this recall.
Who's affected?
The furnace appears under both appliance and LPG-system categories, which explains why the same recall shows oven/stove/cooktop and furnace labels.

What's the safety risk?
An inverted cooktop flame increases the risk of injury or fire. If your VIN is included, avoid using the cooktop until the dealer installs the separating panel between the furnace and cooktop. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician installs a panel that separates the furnace from the cooktop, so those appliances are isolated when they operate together. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid for a related repair before the recall notice, Winnebago's standard reimbursement plan covers documented requests. Bring proof of payment and repair paperwork to the service desk, or ask Winnebago customer service how to submit the claim.
