The issue
On certain motorhomes outfitted with Carefree awnings, the screws that secure the awning to the mounting bracket can break. If the mounting bracket assembly were to break apart, the awning can collapse, which could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective screws.
