Forest River due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
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.
Forest River will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design, free of charge.
