HL Enterprise Recalls 2013 Trailers Due to Awning Motor Screw Failure

HL Enterprise is recalling 2013 Hyline, Georgian Bay, Bridgeview, and Premier trailers because power awning motor screws may shear, causing the awning to unfurl unexpectedly.

What this means for you

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 risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, specifically citing the potential for personal injury or a vehicle crash due to unexpected awning deployment.

Plain-English summary

HL Enterprise Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Hyline HY42IKEB and HY44, Georgian Bay GB39CKT, Bridgeview BV42IKWT, and Premier FW44 and HY42 trailers. The recall involves a total of 8 affected units.

The defect is caused by a design change in the power awning motor assembly, which may result in the motor assembly screws shearing without warning. If the screws shear, the awning can unfurl unexpectedly while the vehicle is at rest or in transit. This increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicles until repairs can be performed. HL Enterprise Inc. will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a different design. The recall began on August 27, 2013. Owners may contact Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information or contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
