2018 Lance Travel Trailer recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. (Lance) is recalling certain 2018 travel trailers, models 1985, 1995, 2185, 2155, 2295, and 2375. The battery on these vehicles may move within its compartment while the vehicle is in motion, causing the door to open and allowing the battery to fall out.
💥 The risk
If the battery falls out of the compartment with the trailer is being towed, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
