## The problem

VanLeigh RV (VanLeigh) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Vanleigh Beacon recreational vehicles.  Interference from the rear ladder can prevent the rear egress window from fully opening.

## The safety risk

In an emergency, the rear egress window cannot be used as an exit, increasing the risk of injury.

## The remedy

Dealers will replace the egress window, free of charge.  Owner letters were mailed on August 12, 2021.  Owners may contact VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040.
