What's wrong?
An egress window on a 2024 Forest River Sabre fifth wheel is an emergency exit built into the wall of the RV. Its job is to give occupants a second way out when the entry door is blocked, damaged, or unsafe to use.
On affected Sabre fifth wheels, the emergency exit window was installed on the same side as the entry door instead of on the driver's side rear of the vehicle. That happened because of a manufacturing error. The window itself is the right type of part, but its location leaves the RV without the intended exit on the opposite side.
There is no warning sign before failure because this is not a part that wears out while driving. The issue is the missing driver's-side emergency exit window, so an owner would notice it by checking where the egress window is installed.
