2012–2013 Ldv Mobile Specialty Vehicle recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
LDV, Inc. is recalling certain 2012-2013 mobile specialty vehicles. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
💥 The 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.
🔧 The fix
LDV, Inc. will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. The recall began during July 2013. Owners may contact Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
