What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 creates a risk of injury, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2008-2014 Holiday Rambler, Monaco, and Safari Coach motorhomes. The affected vehicles are equipped with Lippert-brand Coachstep Double Electric Steps. The recall covers specific models including the Holiday Rambler Admiral, Ambassador, Arista, Endeavor, Neptune, and Vacationer; Monaco Cayman, Diplomat, Dynasty, Knight, LaPalma, Monarch, and Riptide; and Safari Passage and Simba.
The defect involves a bolt used 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 become unstable. Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
ARG will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2016. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
