IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Dear Highland Dealer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Highway Traffic Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Latitude Awnings manufactured between April 10, 2014 and November 4, 2014 have mounting screws that may not meet specifications and may therefore be more likely to break off. If the screws break, it could affect a support arm for the awning, increasing the risk of injury.
