The defect
LDV, Inc. is recalling certain 2012-2013 mobile specialty vehicles. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
The risk
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.
