21V-490 Vanleigh RV Rear Escape Window Notification
Vanleigh RV has found that on certain units, the rear egress window was installed in such a way that if you were to try and open it, the ladder at the rear of the 5th wheel RV would prevent the window from fully opening and allowing a means of escape in case of emergency. Not having an emergency exit in the coach may lead to an increased risk of injury in the case of an emergency situation.
Vanleigh RV has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists on the following models of 5th wheel recreation vehicles 2021 and 2022 Beacon 5th wheel RVs built between September 28, 2020 and June 21, 2021. Accordingly, a recall to address this issue is being initiated effective August 12, 2021.
Vanleigh RV has found that on certain units, the rear egress window was installed in such a way that if you were to try and open it, the ladder at the rear of the 5th wheel RV would prevent the window from fully opening and allowing a means of escape in case of emergency.
