TL* the contact owns a 2008 damon outlaw rv. While driving highway speeds, the vehicle swayed back and forth and was extremely unstable. The failure caused many other parts of the vehicle to separate and become damaged. The contact indicated that the windshield separated and was not secured, which caused water to enter the vehicle. Due to the stability issues, both cabin walls on the driver and passenger sides had also separated. In addition, the electrical wiring for the passenger side headlight was severed due to the excessive swaying and instability, which caused internal parts to loosen and make contact with the wires. While driving approximately 55 mph, the sway bar fractured. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 10,000.
