La Boit Mobile Services — 13V281000
Summary
La Boit Specialty Vehicles Inc. (La Boit) is recalling certain model year 2013 Mobile Services vehicles. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
Consequence
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
La Boit will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. A notification schedule has not yet been provided. Owners may contact La Boit at 1-800-776-9984 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
