Description
OBS Inc. (OBS) is recalling one model year 2013 Adventure III and one Royal RTBGN vehicle; one 2014 Concept bus; and one 2009 Adventure III vehicle. Due to a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
Consequence
If the motor assembly screws shear, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the vehicle is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
OBS will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. The recall began on June 26, 2013. Owners may contact OBS at
1-800-362-9592 or Dometic at
1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed
