What is wrong
Pleasure Way Industries Ltd. (Pleasure Way) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Plateau, Plateau XL, Ascent and Lexor motorhomes equipped with a Fiamma F45 Eagle or Fiamma F65 Eagle awning. The awning drive mechanism may fail causing the awning to extend unexpectedly without input from the user.
Risk
If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is parked, the awning may hit an occupant within its range, increasing the risk of an injury. If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
Pleasure Way will notify owners, and dealers will install straps to keep the awning closed, as a temporary solution, free of charge. Fiamma will provide a permanent solution. Pleasure Way issued owners an interim notification on October 7, 2019. The recall began March 5, 2020. Owners may contact Pleasure Way customer service at 1‑800‑364‑0189.

The vehicle is a motor home equipped with a Fiamma F45 Eagle power-operated awning. While I was driving the vehicle on an interstate highway, the awning deployed for unknown reasons and was partially torn from the vehicle.

This vehicle is an rv built on 2017 mercedes sprinter chassis mxca76. This is the second time this has happened to me. While traveling at highway speed with cruise control on, speed increased dramatically from setpoint, up to 80mph when set to 65. Turned off cruise control, and short time later 5 separate warning lights on dash appeared, with warning to take vehicle to workshop. Warnings were- blind spot assist not working, ABS not working, tire slip picture??, esp not working, cruise control not working. Pulled into closest exit and called closest mercedes dealership. I was told this was a common problem with sprinters, and it was likely a wheel speed sensor. They had the parts, and could do it same day. Milage was 28964, and mercedes dealership confirmed a failed right rear wheel speed sensor, which they replaced under 5 year emissions warranty. The impact of the sudden speed increase, all the alarms at once, and driving at highway speeds was frightening, but since it was the second time, I wasn't as worried. Please note that this issue is appearing on many rv owner sites where rv's are built on a mercedes sprinter chassis. While investigating, please pay attention to this, as this is a mercedes sprinter issue.

Warnings were- blind spot assist not working, ABS not working, tire slip picture??, esp not working, cruise control not working. Pulled into closest exit and called closest mercedes dealership. I was told this was a common problem with sprinters, and it was likely a wheel speed sensor. They were fully booked with repairs and couldn't take us until following day. I was within 200 miles of home, with a clear day, so I chose to get my family home and drive without the safety features, then take my rig to my local dealership. Later I learned the sensor was also part of the emissions control system. Milage was 27788, and mercedes dealership confirmed a failed front left wheel sensor, which they replaced under 5 year emissions warranty. The impact of the sudden speed increase, all the alarms at once, and driving at highway speeds was frightening, but luckily I don't panic easily.
