Recall 17V-407: 2018 Lance Travel Trailer
Lance Camper Manufacturing. Corp. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jun 28, 2017, covering about 42 vehicles.
The problem
Lance Camper Manufacturing. Corp. (Lance Camper) is recalling certain 2018 Lance Travel Trailers equipped with adjustable utility receivers sold as optional or aftermarket equipment. The receivers may have insufficient welds and, as a result, things connected to the receiver such as a bicycle rack may not be properly positioned.
The risk
If components such as a bicycle rack are not properly supported, they may contact the road, possibly resulting in road debris, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lance Camper has notified owners, and the owners will be refunded for their purchase once the receiver is returned. As an option, customers may instead get a bike rack that goes on the front of the travel trailer, free of charge. The recall began on May 26, 2017. Owners may contact Lance Camper customer service at 1-661-949-3322.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
