What's wrong?
The window vent on the 2019 Escape E17A, E17B, E19, E21C, E21NE, and E5.0 trailers is the opening section of the 6400 Series window. It lets air into the trailer while the surrounding frame and glass stay fixed in the wall. Adhesive holds that vented section in place so it stays attached when the trailer is used, stored, or moved.
On affected Escape trailers, the adhesive bond on the vented part of the Hehr/Lippert 6400 Series window can fail. When that bond lets go, the vent section is no longer held to the window the way it was designed to be. The problem is in the bond between the vent portion and the window assembly, not in normal window operation by the owner.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not count on a noise, a visible gap, or a change in how the window opens to confirm whether the vent is secure.

A matching 2019 Escape model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Adhesive failure can let the vent portion of the window detach, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. If your VIN is included, schedule the window inspection soon and avoid using the trailer if the vent looks loose. Repair is free at any franchised Escape dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Escape E17B, E21NE, E21C, E5.0, E17A, or E19 recreational trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Escape dealer to schedule the free window inspection and vent replacement if needed, which fixes the adhesive failure that lets the vent detach.
- Bring the owner notice if you have it, and reference recall number 21V666 when you call.
- Inspect the window vent before towing, and keep the trailer parked if the vent is loose or separating until the dealer repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Escape technician inspects the trailer windows and replaces the vented window section if the inspection shows it is needed. The inspection, replacement vent, and labor are covered under the recall. Escape is not offering a separate reimbursement plan for this campaign because the remedy is being coordinated directly by Lippert, the manufacturer of the affected window part. If you already paid for a related window vent repair, ask Escape customer service how Lippert is handling that prior repair.
