What happened

Forest River is recalling certain 2013-2014 recreational vehicles from multiple brands including Forest River, Coachmen, Prime Time, Palomino, Cargo Mate, and Shasta models manufactured between February 13, 2013, and April 18, 2013. The recalled vehicles have power awning motors with screws that may shear due to a design change, which could cause the awning to unfurl unexpectedly while the vehicle is parked or being driven, potentially causing personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Forest River will notify owners and replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. Owners are instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed. To arrange for repair or obtain more information, owners should contact Forest River at 1-574-389-4600 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003.
