Service bulletin TSB 20-018

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Girard awning may retract on its own due to interference to the awning motion senor from the interior LED lights of the motorhome. Each awning (2 per motor home) requires in-line capacitor to prevent the interference. The awnings will NOT extend on their own from this interference. The Girard awning has a lock module that when ignition is turned on, all power is removed from the awning motors after 60 seconds to ensure that the awning can not deploy while the motorhome is in motion.
