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.
