Cruiser RV travel trailers recalled for defective awning welds

Cruiser RV is recalling multiple models of 2022-2023 travel trailers with electric retractable awnings that may fail due to welded seam separation. A failing awning can drop beyond normal operation, creating an injury 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: This recall involves a structural vehicle defect in which welded seams may separate on the awning, creating a risk of injury if the awning drops unexpectedly. However, the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses. Per the severity rubric, when the hazard is theoretical with no reported harm, the maximum score is 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Cruiser RV is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 travel trailers equipped with electric retractable awnings. The awning fabric contains a welded seam that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop or extend beyond normal operation and increase the risk of injury.
