Defect description
LSR Conversions is recalling one model year 2013 Elite, one model year 2013 Kiefer, one model year 2013 Platinum and one model year 2013 Adam horse trailer. Due to a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
Safety consequence
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.

LSR Conversions has contacted all affected owners and LSR dealers installed new motors of a different design, free of charge. Owners may contact LSR at 1-574-206-9610 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information.
