Model : Multiplex ECM ECM 7000701 Part No. : 7000701 Size : 6โx9โ Function : Awning control
Descriptive Information : Recall population to include all and only RV units using the ECM 7000701 distributed starting 9/22/2021 through 8-23-2022.
Production Dates : SEP 22, 2021 – AUG 23, 2022
Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : It has been identified that there was a programming issue on the electronic control module (ECM) which caused an interface event with the awning unintentionally extending or retracting on a limited range of Coachman van conversions. In rare occasions, this event can be triggered when an adverse network issue takes place, and the ECM output triggers the awning to extend or retract while the vehicle is parked. A safety interlock relay prevents this unintentional awning activation from occurring while the vehicle is in motion. A programming update will be required to resolve this issue.
Unless programming is updated or the awning controller is not powered, a possible unexpected awning deployment could be triggered causing injury or property damage.

08/12/2022 Firefly Integrations inspected and tested a coach with a reported unexpected awning deployment. On Tuesday 08/16/2022 Spyder Controls and Firefly Integrations worked to determine the cause of the issue. 08/17/2022 the issue was able to be verified and resolution determined to be a software update. Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Letters were sent to owners and dealers outlining the problem and the
remedy. The defect was a software issue that could cause unintentional awning movement while the vehicle was parked. The remedy consists of a software update for all affected units (by VIN) which was available directly to owners and dealers through a website listed in the mailings. There was no cost to the owners or dealers to download the software update, or request a software update on a USB stick and get it sent to them. The cost for all dealer installed software updates were reimbursed directly to the dealer once they had attested that the recall was complete and had submitted an invoice. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22E-071

How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production :
Software version of the ECM was the only distinguishing feature. All VIN specific letters sent to owners and dealers stated that their unit was affected, and that action was required.
Once the problem was identified (August 2022), all shipments of new production were held until the new software could be installed. New production units were all shipped with updated software. The software for units in client inventory were also updated prior to releasing to end customers.
