What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in entry steps that poses a risk of personal injury from falling, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Highland Ridge RV is recalling certain model year 2015 Roamer, Mesa Ridge, and 3X fifth wheel trailers manufactured between May 7, 2014, and June 4, 2014. The recall involves a defect in the quad entry steps where a rivet may shear and fail, causing the steps to give when being used.

Highland Ridge will notify owners, and dealers will remove the rivets and bolt the step sections together free of charge. The recall began during June 2015. Owners may contact Highland Ridge customer service at 1-260-768-7771 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
