Okay. Unfortunately, that or trying to contact Thule (the maker) is about all you can do. I don't know if the lever is replaceable or if a whole new leg is required. I could not find a parts breakdown.

Busted as in the lever is gone, fell apart, fractured, in pieces. Yes I have put in an email form with Lippert.

I'm familiar with the lever. What I am asking is what is broken about it? Is is just difficult to move to the locked position or is the lever actually broken off? That is what I am trying to clarify. Just saying that it is "busted" isn't very helpful. Have you tried contacting Lippert via the contact form on the web site?

Go to 2:01 to see the plastic locking lever.  That’s what’s busted.

What is wrong with the locking cam? Can you post a picture?

Hi, I have a 179 that came with a Thule Crown 5200 awning.  I’m trying to figure out how to fix/ replace the locking cam that holds the awning extension leg in extended position?  The Thule and Lippert (US distributor?) websites not helpful? Thanks
