NHTSA Complaint #11608806 — 2020 WINNEBAGO VIEW

Plexiglass window on house door to RV separates. This is a known issue to Winnebago which has provided warranty coverage for up to three years, even though the problem typically manifests at or after three years. The window separates from the house door either partially or completely - in the latter case - causing the window to fly off and pose a threat to other drivers. The sudden separation of the window is a safety issue to occupants of the RV since it may not be immediately apparent what the problem is while driving at interstate speeds. There are no warning lights for this window. The problem appears many times on the View/Navion 2020 owners webpage. Winnebago says the window is attached to the door by a company in Italy. Winnebago customer service says they are uncertain what the best fix is other than to try different adhesives or tape the window back assuming it is not missing due to a total separation from the RV. In my case I was traveling out of state on an interstate when a partial separation occurred. Not knowing what happened I immediately pulled over. Duct tape did not hold the window - eventually, Gorilla Tape allowed a temporary fix. Dealer says "repair" will take at least two hours at $200/hour. If plexiglass breaks during repair a new window will need to be purchased in addition to labor.
