What's wrong

The problem

Sunset Park & RV is recalling one model year 2014 EZ Traveler (21LE) travel trailer manufactured on February 19, 2013. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.

The risk

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.

What to do

The fix

Sunset Park & RV has notified the owner, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motor with one of a different design. The recall is expected to begin in early September 2013. Owners may contact Sunset Park at 1-574-238-9081 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
