Lippert Way Solar Panel: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 23E027000 · 2,399 units potentially affected · filed Mar 31, 2023
What's wrong
Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain WAY Solar Panels with insufficient installation hardware, part number 2022302246, 2022302299, 2022449915, & 2022302362. The solar panel mounting hardware may become loose and pull through the slot in the panel.
Why it matters
Loose hardware can cause the solar panels to detach from the vehicle during transit, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lippert will work with the RV manufacturers and dealers to install additional hardware to the existing panel and install a secondary holding bracket, free of charge. RV manufacturer notifications are expected to begin April 7, 2023. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514. Lippert's number for this recall is 080-2023-001.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
