Plain-English summary

Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. is recalling certain 2018 travel trailers, specifically models 1985, 1995, 2185, 2155, 2295, and 2375. The recall involves 1,164 vehicles.

The defect involves the battery, which may move within its compartment while the vehicle is in motion. This movement can cause the compartment door to open, allowing the battery to fall out. If the battery falls out while the trailer is being towed, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Lance will notify owners, and dealers will install a retrofit strap kit to keep the battery from moving, free of charge. The recall began on March 19, 2018. Owners may contact Lance customer service at 1-661-949-3322 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
