LSR Recalls 2013 Horse Trailers Due to Awning Motor Defect

LSR Conversions is recalling four 2013 horse trailer models because a design change in the power awning motor may cause screws to shear, potentially allowing 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 the defect could lead to personal injury or a vehicle crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities.

Plain-English summary

LSR Conversions is recalling one model year 2013 Elite, one model year 2013 Kiefer, one model year 2013 Platinum, and one model year 2013 Adam horse trailer. The recall addresses a design change in the Dometic-brand 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 condition increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

LSR Conversions has contacted all affected owners. LSR dealers have installed new motors of a different design free of charge. Owners may contact LSR at 1-574-206-9610 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
