SIMU is recalling about 13,800 DMI6 Hz motors used to operate motorized awnings and shutters. These silver and black motors have the "Simu" brand name and model printed on a label on their side. The recalled units were sold by authorized dealers and contractors between March 2018 and June 2022. While no injuries have been reported, SIMU is providing free inspections and replacement motors to prevent potential shocks.
The power cable on these motors can disconnect when the manual override feature is used to open or close the awning or shutter. If this happens, it creates a risk of electric shock or electrocution for the person handling the unit.
Consumers should immediately stop using the manual override feature if their motorized awnings or shutters are not connected to a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker. Consumers should contact SIMU for assistance in identifying the motor and to arrange for a free inspection and replacement motor.
The motor is silver with some black color. 'Simu' and the model name are printed on a label on the side of the motor.
