Photo source: LippertLippert is recalling 73,230 electric retractable awnings that are up to 18 feet in length.

The welded seam on the fabric may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.

An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of an injury occurring.

Lippert will provide inspection instructions and replacement awnings to vehicle manufacturers free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by August 25, 2022.

Owners may contact Lippert customer service at (574) 538-4514. Lippert's number for this recall is 058-001-2022.
