Triple E is recalling 2013 Regency GT motorhomes because power awning motor screws may shear, causing the awning to unfurl unexpectedly and increasing injury or crash risk.

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 or a vehicle crash is possible, but no injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2013 Regency GT29T, GT27S, and GT24MB motorhomes manufactured in March 2013. The recall involves a design change in the power awning motor assembly that may cause the motor assembly screws to shear unknowingly.

If the motor assembly 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. The source text does not report any specific injuries or crashes associated with this defect.

Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicles until repairs can be performed. Triple E will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a different design. The recall began on August 15, 2013. Owners may contact Triple E at 1-877-992-9906 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information.
