Lippert recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Lippert Components, Inc. (Lippert) is recalling certain Coachstep Double and Triple Electric Steps manufactured May 25, 2007, to December 18, 2014. The bolt that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps 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 be unstable.
What could happen
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will install a retainer bracket on the double step assemblies and the Coachstep Linkage Assembly will be replaced and a retainer bracket will be installed on the trip step assemblies. The recall began on February 5, 2016. Owners may contact Lippert customer service number at 1-574-537-8900. Lippert's number for this recall is LCI-SCS-091815.
