What's wrong?
The pop-top on affected 2022-2026 Roadtrek Zion Slumber, Westfalia Wave Sl, Play+Slumber, Play Slumber, Play Tuff Sl, and Pivot Slumber recreational vehicles is held down by a primary butterfly latch and catch. The catch, also called the keeper plate, gives the latch a fixed point to grab so the roof stays closed while the RV is moving.
On these units, the catch is too large for the mating surface inside the primary safety latch. That mismatch can pull the latch out of alignment. Under high wind or rough road conditions, the primary latch can disengage during travel and let the pop-top start lifting.
What you notice first is movement at the pop-top, more flutter, and louder wind noise. The secondary safety straps are meant to hold the pop-top long enough for you to pull over and re-latch it, but the filing says those straps can fail if the pop-top is not fully secured in high crosswinds.

What's the safety risk?
If the pop-top latch releases while the vehicle is moving, the roof can flutter, increase wind noise, and distract the driver. If the safety straps fail, the pop-top can detach, increasing crash risk. Pull over promptly if the roof starts fluttering or wind noise changes, then secure the latch before continuing. Repair is free at any franchised Roadtrek dealer.
