What's wrong?
The Lippert awning on these 2022-2023 Cruiser Embrace, Twilight, Mpg, Shadow Cruiser, Hitch, Radiance Ultra-Lite, and Stryker travel trailers is an electric retractable fabric awning. It rolls out from the side of the trailer for shade, then retracts back against the coach for travel and storage. The welded fabric seam helps the awning roll stay attached and move within its normal range.
On affected trailers, parts of that weld did not penetrate the fabric enough during production by Lippert. The seam can separate at the awning roll, which lets the awning drop farther than it should during operation. The repair components come from production after Lippert changed its manufacturing and quality procedures.
The warning sign is visible. Look at the ends of the awning roll along the coach. If you see a partial weld separation, the awning fabric has started to come apart where it should stay bonded.

What's the safety risk?
An awning that drops or extends past normal travel creates an injury risk for anyone near the coach. Look for partial weld separation at the ends of the awning roll, and keep people clear if the awning looks loose or moves unexpectedly. Repair is free at any franchised Cruiser dealer.

- Keep people clear of the electric retractable awning and avoid using it until the dealer fixes the fabric weld separation that lets the awning drop beyond normal operation.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cruiser technician inspects the electric retractable awning and fixes the fabric issue or replaces the awning if repair is not enough. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for an awning repair tied to this defect before the recall work, Cruiser's general reimbursement plan on file covers documented out-of-pocket repairs.
