Defect description

Navistar is recalling certain model year 2013 Bison Coach Stratus, Stratus Express, Stratus Lite, Trail Express, Trail Hand, and Traveler recreational trailers manufactured February 20, 2013, through May 7, 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.

Manufacturer remedy

Navistar will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with one of a different design. The recall began on September 16, 2013. Owners may contact Navistar at 1-331-332-1590 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
