Lippert (Lippert) is recalling certain WAY Solar Panels with insufficient installation hardware, part number 2022302246, 2022302299, 2022449915, & 2022302362. The solar panel mounting hardware may become loose and pull through the slot in the panel.
Loose hardware can cause the solar panels to detach from the vehicle during transit, increasing the risk of a crash.
Lippert will work with the RV manufacturers and dealers to install additional hardware to the existing panel and install a secondary holding bracket, free of charge. RV manufacturer notifications are expected to begin April 7, 2023. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514. Lippert's number for this recall is 080-2023-001.
