The problem

If the rivet shears under occupant load, the steps may give and the occupant may fall, increasing the risk of personal injury.

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.
