Recall 15V374000
Equipment › Recreational Vehicle/trailer — New Horizons · reported 15 Jun 2015 · 50 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
New Horizons RV Corporation (New Horizons) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Summit and Majestic recreational vehicles manufactured March 11, 2013, to January 30, 2015. 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 fix
New Horizons will notify owners, and dealers will remove the rivets and the step sections will be bolted together, free of charge. The recall began on July 7, 2015. Owners may contact New Horizons customer service at 1-800-238-3140.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
