Structure#2018425August 13, 2018
145 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a Solera Smart Arm awning, the awning may open with no action from an operator. If this happens while the vehicle is in motion, the awning may detach, creating a potential road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the awning controller.
