Issue: nOn certain motorhomes equipped with an awning manufactured by Fiamma, the awning could extend suddenly without a user input. nnSafety Risk: nAn awning that opens suddenly could injure a person standing beside the motorhome. If the awning extends while driving, it could increase the risk of a crash. nnCorrective Actions: nPleasure-Way will notify owners of affected motorhomes by mail. As a temporary repair, the awning must be strapped in a closed position to prevent it from opening suddenly. Pleasure-way will provide owners with straps as soon as they are available and tested. Pleasure-Way will pay a dealer or mechanic to install these straps. A final repair is being developed.
