Transport Canada recalls

Structure#2015581December 7, 2015
763 units affected
On certain motorhomes equipped with Lippert Components Inc. electric entry steps, an internal bolt on the steps that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps could fracture. This results in the fan gear disengaging from the steps, which could cause the steps to stop in an unexpected position and appear to be loose or unstable. If the steps become unstable, it could cause a person to fall, resulting in injury. Correction: Dealers will install a step retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism, and all bolts of the mechanism will also be replaced.
Fuel System#2012305September 17, 2012
306 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the bracket supporting the Liquid Propane (LP) line under the slideout room may loosen. This could damage the LP line, which could result in a leak. A propane gas leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire or an explosion, which could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will remove the existing mounting bracket, rotate it 90 degrees, and reinstall it using a “U” bolt.
Fabrics#2010236July 20, 2010
74 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the fabric used for the dinette cushions and window valances was not treated with flame retardant, and does not meet the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 302 - Flammability of Interior Materials. As a result, the fabric could burn faster than allowable by the Standard. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the cushions and window valances with a treated flame retardant fabric.
