Unexpected Unfurling of the Awning

NHTSA #13V189000 · Equipment · NHTSA notice

Reported May 10, 2013 · Fleetwood RV, Inc.

Potentially affected: 196 vehicles

Owners notified July 17, 2013 · Vehicles built March 7, 2013 – April 19, 2013 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Jamboree Sport Diesel, Providence, Tioga DSL and Tioga Ranger DSL; 2014 Excursion, Expedition, Jamboree Sport, Montara Commercial, Searcher Commercial, Southwind, Storm, Terra, and Tioga Ranger; and 2013-2014 Bounder, Bounder Classic, and Discovery recreational vehicles. 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.

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.

Manufacturer remedy

Fleetwood RV will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. The recall began during June 2013. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.

Notes

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

ODI #11128803

Incident: September 30, 2017 · Filed: September 11, 2018

THE UNDERCARRIAGE SIDE STORAGE ACCESS DOORS DO NOT REMAIN CLOSED EVEN WHEN LOCKED. OFTEN WHEN THE ROAD IS BUMPY OR ROUGH THE DOORS WILL FLY OPEN. RECENTLY WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH JACKSONVILLE FL ON I-95 THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FLEW OPEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE DURING HEAVY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CARS ON MY RIGHT HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND VEER TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE DOORS. HAVING TO GET OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET OF THE ROAD WITH THE DOORS OPEN WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT WITHOUT A SERIOUS INCIDENT. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO ADJUST THE LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH HE SAID HE DID BUT THE DOORS CONTINUE TO FLY OPEN. THIS AS BEEN RECURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE RV IN 2013.
