Well just got home from a great weekend of camping but did have a problem with the front set of steps coming apart. The top step right side shoulder rivet was laying on the ground the next morning and the top stop is loose. On further inspection, I have notice 2 more loose about ready to come out. I will be calling the dealer in the morning but has anyone ever had this problem? Also, who makes this steps?

Yes, I have a 2009 Landmark and the corners of the top step got cracks in each side about 2in long. I took the step out and had a welder reinforce it. Has been okay over the last year.
Yes there is a new recall on this step problem.

Contacted Heartland, was given the choice to take it in for repair or they would send me the repair kit. Choose the repair kit. Really don't want to be waiting on the 5er for 3 weeks.
FYI - was told that it is the top 2 steps that will need the rivets replaced. Drill out rivets and replace with bolts that are being sent.

Guessing that Heartland doesn't get in a rush to send out recall parts. Spoke with them on Monday and have not received the parts yet. Would certainly like to have it repaired for use this weekend. Right now, it is useable as I put a bolt in to support the step AS LONG as one of the other rivets doesn't fail. Always that chance.
