What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2026 Winnebago Access travel trailer is the permanent label that identifies key weight ratings for that trailer. One of those ratings is the Gross Axle Weight Rating, which tells an owner, dealer, or inspection station how much weight the axle is certified to carry.
On affected trailers, the label was printed without the Gross Axle Weight Rating. Winnebago traced the problem to inaccurate information entered in the system used to prepare the label. The missing rating does not change the axle itself, but it leaves the trailer without required weight information that helps owners match cargo, tire loading, and axle limits.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is a label issue, not a part that changes while you drive. Owners are not expected to hear, feel, or see a driving symptom tied to the missing rating.

What's the safety risk?
Missing weight information can lead an owner to overload the Access, which increases the risk of a crash. Check the label information before loading cargo or passengers, and schedule the label replacement with the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Winnebago Access is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Winnebago dealer to schedule the free certification-label replacement that adds the missing GAWR information.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it. If not, reference recall number 26V052 when you call.
- Avoid overloading the trailer until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician replaces the certification label so the Gross Axle Weight Rating is listed correctly. The label replacement and labor are free under recall 26V052. The remedy also allows an owner to replace the label if Winnebago provides that path. If you already paid out of pocket for a related label correction before the recall notice, ask Winnebago customer service about reimbursement under the manufacturer's plan on file and keep your receipts or repair paperwork.

What is recall 26V052?
Recall 26V052 covers 100 2026 Winnebago Access travel trailers with a certification label that does not list the Gross Axle Weight Rating. Missing axle weight information increases the chance of unintentionally overloading the trailer, which increases crash risk. The label replacement is free.

Check your VIN to confirm your specific travel trailer is included in recall 26V052. If it is, contact a Winnebago dealer or Winnebago customer service to arrange the free certification label replacement. Reference Winnebago recall number 44448204 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall remedy to be provided at no cost. For this Winnebago recall, dealers or owners will replace the certification label free of charge, so you do not pay for the corrected label.
Is it safe to tow my Winnebago Access before the label is replaced?
The recall does not include a do-not-drive order. The safety risk is unintended overloading because the certification label lacks the Gross Axle Weight Rating. Confirm your VIN, avoid guessing axle limits, and arrange the free corrected label before loading the trailer near its capacity.
