Recalled SIMU DMI6 Hz motor
Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)
The awning and shutter motor's power cable can disconnect while opened or closed manually (using the manual override feature), posing electric shock and electrocution hazards.
What should I do? (Remedy)
Consumers should immediately stop using the manual override feature if their motorized awnings or shutters are not connected to a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker. Consumers should contact SIMU for assistance in identifying the motor and to arrange for a free inspection and replacement motor.
