Defect:
Chalet rv is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 ts116fb, ts116, and ds116rb truck campers manufactured february 2013 through may 2013; and certain model year 2013-2014 takena 1860, 1865, 2265 travel trailers manufactured february 2013 through may 2013. due to a design change in the dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.

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.

Chalet rv will notify owners, and dealers or dometic staff will replace the affected motors with one of a different design. the recall began on may 3, 2013. owners may contact chalet rv at 1-541-791-4610 or dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
