What's wrong?
The quad entry steps on 2015 Highland Ridge Tt Mesa Ridge and Roamer trailers are the fold-out steps used to get in and out of the trailer. The steps rely on rivets at their joints to hold the step assembly together while weight is placed on it. Those rivets are supposed to keep the steps rigid and supported during normal entry and exit.
On affected trailers, a rivet in the quad step assembly is not large or strong enough for the load it has to carry. When weight is put on the steps, the rivet can shear, which means it breaks across its body instead of holding the joint together. Once that happens, the step assembly can give underfoot while someone is using it.
There is no warning sign before failure. Highland Ridge Tt owners should not expect a visible crack, loose sound, or other cue before the rivet lets go.
Who's affected?
Both models list the same recreational vehicle/trailer equipment component, with build dates from 2014-05-07 through 2014-06-04.

What's the safety risk?
If a step rivet shears while someone is using the steps, the step section can give way and the person can fall, increasing the risk of injury.
