NHTSA recall 13V169000
Equipment · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: If the awning installation sequence was not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowingly become damaged.
Why it matters: If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
The fix: Newmar will notify owners and dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a design that is not subject to an out-of-sequence installation error. The recall began on June 28, 2013.
