Our severity reasoning: This involves a structural vehicle defect in a motorhome where the step support is insufficient and could collapse, creating a fall-injury risk. However, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text. Per the rubric, recalls with theoretical hazards and no reported injuries score at most 3 (High).
