On certain fifth wheel trailers, the power awning switch (located in the cargo compartment) can inadvertently be activated by shifting cargo. As a result, the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, and could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a cover over the switch.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2013283.
