What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 recreational trailers equipped with Dometic 9100 Power Awnings or Weather Pro awnings, awning serial numbers 306xxxx through 314xxxx, manufactured between February 13, 2013, through April 9, 2013. If the awning installation sequence was not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowningly become damaged. A damaged motor may lead to an unfurling of the awning.

The risk

If the awning unfurls unexpectedly either in transit or while parked, it may increase thre risk of personal injury or a crash.

The remedy

Keystone will notify owners and dealers will replace the awning motor, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2013. Owners may contact Keystone at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's campaign recall number is 13-193.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
