Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Carefree of Colorado is recalling approximately 8,000 Freestyle Gearbox Housings, specifically part number 015933-002, which are used on recreational vehicles. The gearbox housing can develop cracks that allow the awning to extend unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. Carefree will provide additional support for the internal components of the gearbox housing to resolve this safety issue at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If an awning extends unintentionally while the vehicle is being driven, it can distract the driver or become a physical road hazard for other vehicles, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your RV awning for the Freestyle Gearbox Housing and verify if it matches part number 015933-002.
  2. Contact Carefree of Colorado customer service at 1-800-621-2617 to arrange for a free repair, which involves installing additional support for the internal gearbox components.
  3. If you have already received a notification letter (mailed around January 6, 2023), follow the specific instructions provided in that correspondence.
  4. For additional information or to report concerns, contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
