Remedy: Dealers will re-weld the trailers or, if necessary, replace the axles if re-welding is not feasible.

Has your Four Winns been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Four Winns dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
