Pleasure WAY Plateau Recall 19V673: Motorhome Awning May Extend Unexpectedly

NHTSA campaign 19V673, reported September 23, 2019, 1,148 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The awning drive mechanism on certain motorhomes equipped with a Fiamma F45 Eagle or Fiamma F65 Eagle awning may fail. When this happens, the awning can extend on its own without any input from the driver or occupants.

If the awning extends unexpectedly while the vehicle is parked, it may strike someone within its reach and cause an injury. If it extends while the vehicle is moving, the risk of a crash increases. Owners should take this seriously and avoid relying on the awning until the vehicle has been repaired.

The remedy is free. Dealers will install straps to keep the awning closed as a temporary fix, and Fiamma will provide a permanent solution. Owners can contact Pleasure Way customer service at 1-800-364-0189, and should check their vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
