What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

EverGreen Recreational Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Bay Hill fifth wheel travel trailers manufactured between March 13, 2013, and April 25, 2013. 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 may unfurl unexpectedly while the vehicle is at rest or in transit. This condition increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash. Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicles until repairs are performed.

The recall began on July 25, 2013. EverGreen will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with units of a different design. Owners may contact Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
