What's wrong?
The power awning motor assembly on 2013 Regency Gt GT27S, GT29T, and GT24MB motorhomes is the drive unit that extends and retracts the exterior awning. It uses mounting screws to hold the motor assembly in place while the awning moves. Those screws need to stay intact because the awning puts load on the motor each time it is operated.
On affected motorhomes, a design change in the power awning motor assembly left the screws vulnerable to shearing. Shearing means the screw breaks across its body instead of staying whole. When that happens, the motor assembly is no longer held as designed, and the awning hardware loses part of its support.
An owner does not have a reliable sound, light, or handling change to watch for before the screws break. There is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
If the awning motor screws shear, the awning can unfurl unexpectedly while parked or in transit, which increases the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash. Avoid using the awning and arrange the recall work before more travel. Repair will be free at any franchised Regency Gt dealer once available.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Regency Gt dealer and ask about the free Dometic power-awning motor replacement.
- Reference recall number 13V334 when you call so the dealer can match the awning motor screw defect to the correct repair.
- Bring the recall notice if Triple E mailed one, or give the dealer your VIN and campaign number.
What happens at the repair
