Details

What's wrong: On some motorhomes, the rivets may fail that secure the awning brackets to the motorhome side wall, allowing the bracket and thule awning to come off the motor home while operating the awning.

Why it matters: If the awning separates from the motor home, the user or people nearby may be injured.

The fix: Roadtrek will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional stainless steel rivet on each of the awning brackets, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 21, 2012.
