What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Open Range R.V. Company (Open Range) is recalling certain model year 2015 Roamer, Mesa Ridge, and 3X fifth wheel trailers manufactured May 7, 2014, to June 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, a rivet for the quad entry steps may shear and fail, causing the steps to give when being used.

The risk

If the rivet shears under occupant load, the steps may give and the occupant may fall, increasing the risk of personal injury.

The remedy

Highland Ridge will notify owners on behalf of Open Range, and dealers will remove the rivets and the step sections will be bolted together, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2015. Owners may contact Open Range customer service at 1-260-768-7771.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
