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 (motorhome) where injury or crash risk is explicitly stated, but no injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Pleasure Way Industries Ltd. is recalling certain 2018-2020 Plateau, Plateau XL, Ascent, and Lexor motorhomes equipped with a Fiamma F45 Eagle or Fiamma F65 Eagle awning. The recall involves 1,148 vehicles. The defect is that the awning drive mechanism may fail, causing the awning to extend unexpectedly without input from the user.
If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is parked, it may hit an occupant within its range, increasing the risk of injury. If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or crashes associated with this defect.
Pleasure Way will notify owners, and dealers will install straps to keep the awning closed as a temporary solution, free of charge. Fiamma will provide a permanent solution. The recall began on March 5, 2020, following an interim notification issued on October 7, 2019. Owners may contact Pleasure Way customer service at 1-800-364-0189 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
