What's wrong?
The electric retractable awning on these 2022 Nexus Ghost, Wraith, Verrado, Rebel 4X4, Phantom, Triumph, and Viper motorhomes uses fabric secured to a PVC track at the awning rail. When the awning extends or retracts, that track keeps the fabric aligned and holds the outer edge in its normal travel path.
On affected motorhomes, the weld between the fabric and the adjoining PVC track did not penetrate deeply enough in some areas. That weak bond lets the fabric pull away at the seam. If the separation grows, the awning can drop beyond normal operation instead of staying controlled by the rail and support hardware.
Owners should inspect the weld near the awning rail for fabric separation. If there is no separation, the source repair instruction says no repair or replacement is required. If separation is under 6 inches, the fabric can be resecured; if it is over 6 inches, the awning fabric is replaced.
