Exterior RV retractable awning (model = Latitude) manufactured by Carefree of Colorado and installed by Dynamax Corporation on the Isata 3 models. Several RV owners are reporting that the awning pitch adjustment locking screws are missing on their Isata 3 vehicles. These pitch adjustment screws are "pitch locking" screws, yet neither Dynamax Corporation (responsible production and installation of Carefree Awning installation) nor Carefree https://www.carefreeofcolorado.com/ have addressed this HIGHWAY SAFETY issue! It is not rocket science that an RV manufacturer should consider this EXTERNAL RV component missing part a HIGHWAY SAFETY concern! This was discovered by checking our Isata 3 after reading other owner's posts on a Facebook Owners Group for Dynamax Isata 3.
