2014 and 2015 were problem years for the windshield. It was super big and the curves in the glass created asymmetrical loads if the glass was not installed correctly. I have a 2015 Vegas.

Drove to the dealer about 4 months after I bought it new for an oil change. Parked under the dealer canopy and went inside to get processed in and do the paperwork for the service. When we came out to check the RV there was a huge stress crack in the window right at driver eye level. It went from the A pillar laterally for about a foot and then took a turn downward for another 20 or 30 inches. It cracked just sitting under the dealer's canopy.

The dealer took pictures and Thor verified it was a stress crack caused by asymmetrical loads from improperly installing the windshield at the factory. They sent the dealer a new windshield and the dealer replaced it under warranty.

So in answer to the question -- yes there is a cracking problem in 2014 and 2015 Vegas/Axis windshields. In the 2016 model year they made the windshield smaller so that it did not go so far up into the roof of the RV. They probably shortened the height by about 10".
