  UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR

  I own a 2017 Forest River RiverStone fifth-wheel RV equipped with Lippert 3000 Series frameless windows. Two windows of the same style have come loose and fallen out while the RV was being towed. This creates a serious safety hazard for occupants and other motorists from falling glass and road debris. My October 27, 2023, Lippert receipt identifies the replacement window as part V000341342, model 3000 FVD, F300-43207, measuring 48 x 24 inches, with insulated tempered glass and a black frame. I am concerned about a possible adhesive bonding defect between the opening glass section and its hinge. Forest River advised that my RV does not show as covered under the recall they checked and directed me to contact Lippert. A replacement now costs approximately $1,550, compared with $728.95 for the window itself in 2023. I request that NHTSA investigate these repeated failures and determine whether the windows are affected by an existing recall or require additional safety action. I can provide my purchase receipt, photographs, and correspondence with Forest River.
