Details

What's wrong: Gulf Stream coach, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Canyon Trail, Sedona, Ridgeline, Kingsport, and Trail Master recreational vehicle trailers manufactured febuary 13, 2013, through April 24, 2013. The vehicles are equipped with weatherpro and 9100 series power awnings. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.

Why it matters: If the motor assembly screws shear, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the vehicle is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

The fix: Gulf stream will notify owners and dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. Gulf stream has not yet provided a notification schedule.
