Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 recreational vehicles, including the Jamboree Sport Diesel, Providence, Tioga DSL, Tioga Ranger DSL, Excursion, Expedition, Jamboree Sport, Montara Commercial, Searcher Commercial, Southwind, Storm, Terra, Tioga Ranger, Bounder, Bounder Classic, and Discovery. The affected vehicles are equipped with Weatherpro and 9100 series power awnings.
The recall addresses a design change in the power awning motor assembly that may cause the motor assembly screws to shear unknowingly. If the screws shear, the awning can unfurl unexpectedly while the vehicle is at rest or in transit, which increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicles until repairs can be performed. Fleetwood RV will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. The recall began in June 2013. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information.
