Aluminum Trailer Company recall 13V376000

Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) is recalling certain model year 2013 Quest trailers manufactured February 26, 2013, through April 10, 2013. Due to a design change in the Dometic-brand power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.

Reported 08/20/2013

What can happen

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.

Repair

ATC will notify owners, and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with one of a different design. The recall began on September 6, 2013. Owners may contact ATC at 1-574-773-8360 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.
