“The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently issued three visibility recalls on Highland Ridge RV, Keystone RV Company (Keystone), and Thor Motor Coach (TMC). Each recall states the affected vehicle models have bonding issues.

Highland Ridge RV

The recall, according to NHTSA, states if the window glass detaches while the trailer is moving it could become a projectile, which would increase the risk of an accident.

Keystone

Keystone is recalling hundreds of its 2020 Alpine, Avalanche, Fuzion, Laredo, Montana, Raptor, Crossroads Redwood, and Dutchmen Voltage trailers. According to the company, the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal frame of the frameless windows may fail which can allow the glass to detach while moving.

TMC

TMC recently announced it is recalling certain 2020-2021 ACE, 2021 Four Winds and 2020 Gemini, Axis, Compass, Delano, Windsport, Hurricane, Outlaw, and Vegas motorhomes. According to NHTSA and the company, the adhesive bond between the glass and the metal hinge frame of the frameless windows may fail which would then allow the glass to detach and fall out.”

There doesn’t appear to be any incidents recorded regarding the above defects, rather this seems like a proactive approach on the part of the NHTSA. It’s quite unusual to see 3 manufacturers suffer the same issue with their vehicles, but at least they all are taking the problem seriously. If you’re an owner of one of the affected models, expect to be contacted by the manufacturer if you haven’t already.
