Summary

Highland Ridge RV "Highland" is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Roamer, Mesa Ridge, Light, 3X, and Journeyer travel and fifth wheel trailers manufactured March 6, 2015, to March 26, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the screws that attach the expanding room to the sliding mechanism cable may fail allowing the room to extend unintentionally while the vehicle is in motion.

Consequence

If the room extends while vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

Highland will notify owners, and dealers will replace the slide room mechanism attaching screws, free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2015. Owners may contact Highland customer service at 1-260-768-7771.
