Defect description
EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC (EverGreen) is recalling certain model year 2013 Bay Hill fifth wheel travel trailers manufactured March 13, 2013, through April 25, 2013. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
