Lance is recalling 2015 Slide-In Campers and Travel Trailers because defective awning screws could cause the awning to fall and injure people.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The defect poses a risk of physical injury from a falling awning, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. is recalling certain model year 2015 Slide-In Campers and Travel Trailers. The affected vehicles were built between April 10, 2014, and December 15, 2014, and are equipped with specific Latitude Awnings (styles GX and G) manufactured by Carefree of Colorado.

The recall addresses screws that attach the lateral arm brackets to the mounting brackets, which may not have been manufactured to specification. If these screws fail, the supporting bracket could fail, causing the awning to fall and potentially strike and injure a person beneath it.

Lance will notify owners, and dealers will remove and replace the defective screws free of charge. The recall began on February 20, 2015. Owners may contact Lance customer service at 1-661-949-3322 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
