What's wrong?
The quad entry steps on 2013-2015 New Horizons Summit and Majestic recreational vehicles are the folding steps used to enter and exit the RV. The step assembly depends on rivets, which are small fasteners that hold moving metal pieces together while the steps carry a person's weight.
On affected RVs, a rivet in the quad entry step assembly can shear. That means the fastener breaks across its body instead of holding the step linkage in place. When that happens, the steps can give while someone is using them, creating a fall hazard tied to recall 15V374.
There is no warning sign before failure. The step can look usable until the rivet breaks, so owners should treat loose, shifting, or uneven step movement as a reason to stop using the entry steps and arrange the recall repair.

What's the safety risk?
A sheared rivet can let an entry step give under occupant weight. Someone stepping into or out of the trailer can fall, increasing the risk of personal injury. Use extra care on the steps until the repair is complete. Repair is free at any franchised New Horizons dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 New Horizons Summit or Majestic recreational vehicle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised New Horizons dealer to schedule the free rivet removal and step-bolt repair that keeps the quad entry steps from giving under load.
- Bring the recall notice if New Horizons mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V374 when you call.
- Avoid using the quad entry steps until the repair is complete; use a stable alternative entry method if the RV must be entered.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a New Horizons technician removes the rivets from the quad entry step sections and bolts the step sections together so the assembly no longer depends on the rivets that can shear. The recall repair is free at the dealer, with parts and labor covered. Ask the service desk to confirm that the step sections listed for your Summit or Majestic are included before work begins, then have the dealer complete the repair before normal step use resumes.
