Kevin H Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I have a four-step Kwikee/Lippert step setup on our 2013 Montana. So far two of the rivets that are pivot points have failed. One on the right, and today, one on the left. I easily drilled out the hole and put in an grade 8 bolt when the right side broke a couple years ago. Probably will do it again for the left. Also, a rivet that holds on the step plate to the support brace broke. Haven't fixed that yet - thinking about having the plate welded to the braces. Anyway, anyone having the same issues? I thought there was a step recall but I don't remember what the recall issue was. Anyone know if these rivet issues were the recall? How long is the warranty on this item (try to keep a straight face when you spit out 'WARRANTY!!!!?????) The richest are not those who have the most, but those who need the least.

Ronbo Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 They were recalled and they are just replacing the rivets with bolts. Same thing you are doing. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronbo Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Here is a recall notice. Although this is for lifestyle there is also one for forest river that I know of. I would also expect it to include all manufacturers that use a lippert frame. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM481791/RCMN-15V377-1214.pdf Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Looks like Kevin H performed the recall himself. He did what the recall describes and pictures. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis. USA IN 1SG retired;Good Sam Life member,FMCA ."
