ATC Recalls 2013 Quest Trailers Due to Awning Motor Defect

Plain-English summary

Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain model year 2013 Quest trailers manufactured between February 26, 2013, and April 10, 2013. The recall involves 17 vehicles. The issue stems from a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, which 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. This increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

ATC will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a different design. The recall began on September 6, 2013. Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicles until repairs are performed. For more information, owners may contact ATC at 1-574-773-8360 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
