Recall 20E039000: Visibility, Glass, Side/rear

NHTSA recall 20E039000 · announced June 15, 2020 · Lippert · 10,242 units affected

The problem

Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI) is recalling certain 3000 Series Frameless windows sold for installation into recreational vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and the metal hinge frame of the frameless crank out vent windows may fail which could then allow the glass to detach and fall out.

The risk

If the window glass detaches while the vehicle is moving it could become a projectile, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

What to do

LCI will notify the affected RV manufacturers whose dealers will inspect the frameless windows for proper adhesive bond strength, replacing the windows as necessary, free of charge. LCI did not provide a manufacturer notification schedule. Owners may contact LCI customer service at 1-574-537-8900 or via email by using customerservice@lci1.com. LCI's number for this recall is 228-01-2020.
