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 recall involves a mechanical defect that can cause the vehicle to move unintentionally, increasing the risk of injury or a crash, but no injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. is recalling certain 2018 recreational trailers, including models 1475, 1575, 1685, 1995, 2185, 2285, 2295, 2375, and 2465. These vehicles are equipped with a Smart-Jack model power tongue jack. The defect involves the laminated plastic touch pad on the jack, which may crack or separate. This separation allows water to enter the unit, potentially causing the jack to operate unintentionally.

If the jack retracts or extends unintentionally, it can increase the risk of injury to individuals within the trailer. Additionally, if the jack moves while the trailer is being towed, it increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 2,054 vehicles.

Lance will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power tongue jack free of charge. The recall began on March 1, 2018. Owners may contact Lance customer service at 1-661-949-3322 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
