What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may detach while in motion, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash or personal injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Newell Coach Corp. is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 motor coaches manufactured between January 2004 and July 2009. These vehicles are equipped with SE-GI windows. The recall involves 210 units.

The defect involves the adhesive bond between the glass portion of the vent panel and the hinge, which may degrade. This can cause the panel to detach and fall from the vehicle. If this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, it creates a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash or personal injury.

The safety recall began on April 24, 2012. Owners should contact Newell at 1-888-963-9355 to arrange for the corrective action, which will be performed free of charge. Customers may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
