Lippert: WAY Solar Panels Recalled Due to Detachment Risk from Loose Mounting Hardware

Agency Publication Date: March 31, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lippert is recalling approximately 2,399 WAY Solar Panels because the mounting hardware used to install them may be insufficient. The hardware can become loose and pull through the panel's mounting slots, which may cause the solar panel to completely detach from the vehicle while it is in motion. This recall specifically affects panels with part numbers 2022302246, 2022302299, 2022449915, and 2022302362. Lippert will coordinate with RV manufacturers and dealers to provide a free repair that includes adding extra hardware and a secondary holding bracket to secure the panels.

Risk

If the mounting hardware fails, the solar panel can fly off the RV during transit. This creates a significant road hazard for other drivers and increases the likelihood of a crash.

  1. Identify if your RV is equipped with WAY Solar Panels by checking for part numbers 2022302246, 2022302299, 2022449915, or 2022302362.
  2. Contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514 to verify if your specific solar panels are included in this recall and to schedule a free repair. Refer to Lippert recall number 080-2023-001.
