Recreation by Design is recalling certain model year 2013 Monte Carlo 35 SC FW, 37 PM, 37 SC, 40 SC FW, 43 SC FW, 44 PM, 44 SC, 44 SC FW, and 52 SC FW travel trailers; North American 36 SC, and 44 PM travel trailers; and Royal Travel 39 SC, and 42 SC travel trailers. If the awning installation sequence was not completely followed, the Dometic-brand awning motor may unknowingly become damaged.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If motor damage has occurred, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the trailer is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Recreation by Design will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a design that is not subject to an out-of-sequence installation error. The recall began on September 9, 2013. Owners may contact Recreation by Design at 1-800-999-1902 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
