Electric Entry Steps may be Unstable
Description
Foretravel, Inc. (Foretravel) is recalling certain model year 2008 Nimbus motorhomes manufactured July 9, 2007, to March 25, 2008. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double Electric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps. This bolt may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.
Injuries / Consequence
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
Remedy
Foretravel will notify owners and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on February 20, 2016. Owners may contact Foretravel customer service at 1-936-564-8367, or Lippert customer service at 1-574-537-8900.
