What is wrong
Intech Trailers (Intech)is recalling certain model year 2013 custom trailers manufactured March 2013 through April 2013. Due to a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Intech will notify owners and Intech or Dometic will replace the affected motors with one of a different design, free of charge. The recall began on May 3, 2013. Owners may contact Intech Trailers at 1-574-773-9536 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
