INSPECTION PROCEDURE:
- Verify the brand of patio awning that is installed on the motorhome. If a Dometic brand of awning is installed, that unit is not involved in the recall. Please file the warranty claim using the inspection only code above for the inspection of units not involved for 6 minutes with Tiffin Motorhomes so that recall can be cleared from the motorhome.

- Place ladders at each end of awning in close proximity to the shoulder of each arm at the sidewall. Have two individuals climb the ladders. Each person should then begin to apply upward pressure to the awning lead rail while watching the connection of the silver awning plates to the fiberglass sidewall. Note: There will be up to ¼” of movement in the awning plate. If any separation between plate and fiberglass allows you to see the fasteners through the wall, the plate is improperly installed.
- Relocate one ladder to the center arm and apply upward pressure on the awning lead rail to inspect the connection of the center connection plates. Note: There will be up to ¼” of movement in the awning plate. If any separation between plate and fiberglass allows you to see the fasteners through the wall, the plate is improperly installed.

- Open refrigerator access door and disconnect the 9-position matrix connector for the patio awning wires.
- Using the 4mm Allen Wrench, loosen the two setscrews on bottom of each of the four awning brackets as pictured below.

- If additional brackets are necessary to meet specifications, each additional bracket will need to be prepped by applying EternaBond tape to back side of each bracket. Ensure the sealant tape covers each of the four holes through the bracket.
- Maintaining a straight line across the top of all brackets, attach the new awning bracket(s) at the appropriate dimension(s) using four of the 5/16” X 1 ½” hex head screws.
