Supreme Corporation: Equipment
Supreme Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on May 13, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 153. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Silver Crown and Ponyxpress vehicles manufactured January 24, 2007, to June 30, 2010 and equipped with entry steps that electrically extend and retract. The bolt that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may become unstable.
The risk
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
Supreme will notify owners and advise them to have a Lippert Components dealer install a retainer bracket, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2016. Owners may contact Lippert Components customer service at 1-574-537-8900 or Supreme customer service at 1-574-642-0800.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V299000.
