What's wrong?

The 6400 SERIES WINDOWS on 2008-2022 Newell P50 coaches include a vented glass section. That vented section is bonded to another piece of glass with adhesive, so the window stays sealed and held together while the coach moves, flexes, and sits in changing weather.

On affected coaches, the bond between the 2 glass pieces fails. The problem is the adhesive joint itself: it does not keep the vented portion attached as designed. Once that bond lets go, the vented glass section is no longer supported the way the window assembly requires.

An owner or technician can notice the problem during regular maintenance by checking the edge of the vented glass for a gap, looseness, or lifted adhesive. The warning sign is loss of bonding between the glass pieces. If the vented portion looks loose or the bond line has opened, treat that as the sign Newell identified.

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?

If the vent portion of the window loses its bond, it can detach from the coach and increase the risk of a crash or injury. During maintenance, treat any loose bonding around the vent as a reason to contact Newell before the next trip. Repair is free at any franchised Newell dealer.
