2015–2018 Vanleigh Vilano recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
VanLeigh RV (VanLeigh) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Vilano fifth-wheel recreational trailers. Because the winch that supports the spare tire may not be properly fastened to the trailer, the trailer's spare tire could fall off while unit is in motion.
💥 The risk
If the spare tire falls off while the unit is in motion, it may increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
VanLeigh will notify owners, and dealers will secure the spare tire winch with the correct fasteners, free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2017. Owners may contact VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040. VanLeigh's number for this recall is VL-101.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
