What this recall means for you
Water can collect inside the T-Slider window frames on certain buses built between August 21, 2015 and June 2, 2016. In freezing conditions, that water can freeze and expand, pushing against the window glass until it cracks or shatters.
Shattered window glass can increase the risk of injury to people riding on the bus. If you own an affected vehicle, the manufacturer will notify you, and an authorized dealer will seal or replace the windows as needed at no cost to you. You can also contact Lippert Window customer service at 1-450-378-6722 or Micro Bird customer service at 1-819-477-2012, and check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
