Description of the Incident: While driving our RV on the expressway, the slide-out unexpectedly extended on its own without anyone pressing the control button or getting up from their seat. The slide-out extended several feet outward while the vehicle was moving at highway speed. Component/System that Failed: The slide-out mechanism/control system malfunctioned. It appears to have activated spontaneously. The component is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: This malfunction created an extreme safety hazard. The slide-out expanded into the next lane of traffic, putting our passengers, specifically our children seated at the dinette, at immediate risk of being struck or crushed by a passing tractor-trailer. A collision could have resulted in serious injury or fatality. Reproduction/Confirmation: The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Inspection: The RV or the slide-out component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or other representatives at this time. Warning Lamps or Prior Symptoms: There were no warning lights, error messages, or symptoms prior to the failure. The malfunction occurred suddenly and without any prior indication
