What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Vanleigh RV (Vanleigh) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Vilano and Beacon fifth wheel recreational trailers. The suspension shackles may be too short, causing them to fail.

The risk

Failure of the suspension shackle may cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Vanleigh will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing shackles with longer ones, free of charge. The recall began August 30, 2019. Owners may contact Vanleigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
