What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 awning can drop, increasing injury risk, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical or unreported harm.
Plain-English summary
Lippert is recalling certain electric retractable awnings, up to 18 feet in length. The recall is due to a defect where the welded seam on the fabric may separate. This separation can potentially allow the awning to drop or extend beyond normal operation.
An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or report any specific injuries or fatalities.
Lippert will provide inspection instructions and replacement awnings to vehicle manufacturers free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by August 25, 2022. Owners may contact Lippert customer service at 1-574-538-4514 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
