On certain folding camping trailers, the power lift roof system generates excessive torque when operated using the 30A power cord plugged into a 110V AC power source (non-battery operation). This could cause shear pin failure resulting in damage to the lift system. This could allow the roof to free-fall from the raised position, possibly causing personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
