Defect
American Surplus & Mfg. Inc. (American Surplus) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ice Castle Fish House RV Edition vehicles manufactured February 2013 through April 2013. Due to a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
Safety 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.
Remedy
American Surplus will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with one of a different design. Owners may contact American Surplus at 1-320-269-5428 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
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.
