2018 Lance 1995

Defect. Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. (Lance) is recalling certain 2018 recreational trailers, models 1475, 1575, 1685, 1995, 2185, 2285, 2295, 2375 and 2465, equipped with a Smart-Jack model power tongue jack. The laminated plastic touch pad on the jack may crack or separate allowing water to enter, potentially causing the jack to operate unintentionally.

Risk. If the jack retracts or extends unintentionally, it can increase the risk of injury to those within the trailer or increase the risk of a crash if the jack moves while the trailer is being towed.

Remedy. 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.

THIS IS A NEW TRAVEL TRAILER AND THE RV WAS STATIONARY. MAIN CIRCUIT TRIPPED FREQUENTLY AND I SMELLED BURNING WIRING. AC AND MICROWAVE WOULD NOT WORK. RV DEALER SAID THAT THE WIRE WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY UNDER THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER SCREW CAUSING A SHOT CIRCUIT. THIS ALSO BURNED ADJACENT WIRING. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE BUT FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT. ANOTHER LANCE OWNER WE MET LAST FEBRUARY HAD A SHORT CIRCUIT IN HIS BR LIGHT THEIR LANCE 1995 RV TRAILE. HE HAD TO CUT THE WIRES AND WIRE CAP THEM TO PREVENT FURTHER SHORT CIRCUITS. IN ADDITION TO THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LANCE ALSO HAS RECALLS ON THEIR SMART JACKS FOR A FAULTY JACK STAND THAT CAN COLLAPSE AND A RECALL FOR ITS BATTERY COMPARTMENTS HERE THE 12 VOLT BATTERIES HAVE FALLEN OUT OF THESE 1995 TRAVEL TRAILERS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRAVEL TRAILER AND I THINK THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD REVIEW THEIR MANUFACTURING AND PARTS PROCUREMENT PROCESSES AND ESPECIALLY THEIR QUALITY CONTROL PROCESSES.
