While connecting the fifth wheel RV to the tow vehicle, the “Vegatouch Mira” iPad application (version 2.18.4) was being used to connect to the Firefly Integration system (LC version 2.16) to control the Lippert LevelUp hydraulic leveling system that lowers the front end of the RV to the proper height for hookup to the tow vehicle hitch receiver. In the iPad application, the front hydraulic control minus button (“Front (HYD.) -“) is pressed to momentarily engage the hydraulics to lower the RV front end to the appropriate height. However, if that minus button is pressed twice in a row, the front end goes into a complete hydraulic retraction mode. This happened twice, and the RV unexpectedly and dangerously dropped onto the truck bed/sides, which could easily resulted in serious injury or death. Unfortunately, accidentally double tapping an iPad button can occur easily, and is an action very close to the normal hitching procedure of tapping the - (or + to raise) button as needed until the hydraulic motor engages, and then quickly letting go to allow for a fine-tune adjustment of the RV height. A fine tune drop to the correct height, +/- 1 inch, would usually call four several 1/2 inch fine tune adjustments, which if happen too quickly turns into a double tap.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
