NHTSA Campaign 18E050000

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Issued by Lippert Components, Inc. · Reported Jul 2, 2018 · 14,383 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI) is recalling certain Solera Smart Arm Awnings. Water may enter the awning control module wiring harness and cause the awnings to partially deploy unexpectedly while the recreational vehicle is being driven.

Consequence

If the awning deploys while the vehicle is moving, it can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

LCI will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the awnings and the vehicle manufacturers will conduct recalls to have their dealers replace the Solera Smart Arm controller with a new Smart Arm Controller, free of charge. The recall began August 21, 2018. Owners may contact LCI customer service at 1-574-538-4514. LCI's number for this recall is 18-058-001.
