Holiday Rambler is recalling 630 2009-2011 Imperial, Dynasty, and Signature recreational vehicles under recall 11V557 because the front windshield shade can separate from the cabin body without warning.

What's wrong?

The front windshield shade on affected 2009-2011 Holiday Rambler motorhomes is the shade assembly mounted at the front of the cabin. Its normal job is to stay secured to the cabin body while helping control glare through the windshield. The driver still depends on a clear windshield view at all times.

NHTSA campaign 11V557 describes a shade that separates from the cabin body without warning. When the shade comes loose, it can move into the windshield area instead of staying fixed in place. That can impair the driver's ability to see the roadway.

There is no warning sign before failure. The recall describes the separation as happening without warning, so an owner should not rely on noise, looseness, or a visible change before the shade lets go.

Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.

What's the safety risk?

Reduced road visibility limits the driver's ability to see traffic, lanes, and hazards. That impairment can lead to a crash with property damage, personal injury, or death. Check whether your VIN is included and schedule service when the repair is available. Repair will be free at any franchised Holiday Rambler dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2011 Holiday Rambler model is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Holiday Rambler dealer or service center about the free windshield-shade mounting-clip inspection and repair.
  3. Reference recall number 11V557 when you call so the service desk can find the correct campaign.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it, and ask the dealer to inspect the shade mounting clips before normal travel.
  5. Drive with clear windshield visibility only. Stop safely if the front windshield shade loosens or blocks your view of the road.

What happens at the repair

When the dealer repair is available, a Holiday Rambler technician inspects the front windshield shade mounting clips and repairs the mounting hardware covered by recall 11V557. The work focuses on keeping the shade secured to the cabin body so it does not separate into the driver's view. The final dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. The filing does not list a repair time, so ask the service desk what to expect when you schedule the inspection.
