What's wrong
Universal Trailer Cargo Group, Inc. (Universal Trailer) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Haulmark Motorcoach vehicles manufactured April 1, 2007, to June 30, 2010. 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 become unstable.
Consequence
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
Remedy
Universal Trailer will notify owners, and 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 May 2, 2016. Owners may contact Universal Trailer customer service at 1-574-264-9661.
