One of the HEHR windows blew off of the motorhome while driving down I-5 in California. The window shattered. (Fortunately it did not hit the motorhome driving behind us, and fortunately we were in the right lane so it didn't hit anyone else.) We had to go two and a half months driving with no window in that place (the bedroom) - we, of course, blocked it with styrofoam, etc and good old duct tape for the rest of our trip. We checked the rest out upon stopping and there is another one that was pulling off enough that we duct-taped that all tightly so it wouldn't blow off. And at least one more window is loosening up also. These windows are obviously defective in the way that they are installed built. We understand there has been a recall on this, but it does not include our year 2015. We would like to have all of these HEHR windows replaced so as not to be a safety hazard to anyone around us on the road.
