Recall 13V-311: 2013 Bridgeview BV42IKWT, 2013 Georgian Bay GB39CKT and 4 more
HL Enterprise Inc. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jul 16, 2013, covering about 8 vehicles.
The problem

Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.
