The CPSC and SIMU are recalling SIMU DMI6 Hz motors sold with powered  awnings and shutters.  The cables connecting to these motors may unpredictably disconnect if the awnings or shutters are opened or closed manually creating electric shocks and electrocutions.  About 13,800 of these motors were sold in the US, and about 12 were sold in Canada.  If you have one of these motors installed, stop using the manual override feature unless the motor is connected to a GFCI (Group Fault Circuit Interrupter) circuit or to a circuit breaker.  Contact SIMI at 1-855-944-5598 for assistance in identifying if your units are included in the recall and to arrange for a free inspection and motor replacement.
