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 that creates a risk of injury from unstable steps, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Universal Trailer Cargo Group, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Haulmark Motorcoach vehicles manufactured between April 1, 2007, and June 30, 2010. The recall involves 217 vehicles.
The defect involves a bolt that attaches 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, which increases the risk of injury during entry and exit.
Universal Trailer will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer bracket on the double step assemblies, replace the Coachstep Linkage Assembly, and install a retainer bracket on the trip step assemblies. The recall began on May 2, 2016. Owners may contact Universal Trailer customer service at 1-574-264-9661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
