Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Breeze and Allegro motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect where the awning motor may become damaged if the installation sequence was not completely followed.

If the motor is damaged, the awning can unfurl unexpectedly while the motorhome is at rest or in transit. This increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Tiffin will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a design that is not subject to an out-of-sequence installation error. Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed. The recall began on June 24, 2013.
