The entry step to the motorhome lacks sufficient support and may become damaged by repeated use.

Remedy: Fleetwood RV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, reinforce the step structural support. The safety recall began during December 2012. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418.
