The defect
Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2011 Aspire and Anthem motorhomes, 2008 and 2010 Cornerstone motorhomes, 2008 Emblem and Alante motorhomes, and 2009-2011 Insignia motorhomes. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double aElectric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps.

The risk
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
Entegra will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer bracket on the double step assemblies. On the trip step assemblies, the Coachstep linkage Assembly will be replaced and a retainer bracket will be installed. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787, or Lippert customer service at 1-574-537-8900. Entegra's number for this recall is 9903275.
