2021 Vanleigh Vilano

Defect. VanLeigh RV (VanLeigh) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Beacon and 2019-2022 Vilano coaches. The water heater housing may not have been properly sealed, allowing gas to enter the coach.

Risk. Gas inside the coach increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Dealers will install a grommet ensuring the sleeve is facing out and use zip-ties to secure the sleeves to the gas line, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed July 9, 2021. Owners may contact VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040.

The contact owns a 2021 Vanleigh Vilano RV. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on two separate occasions, the contact observed excessive vertical movement in the pin box/fifth-wheel hitch assembly. Upon pulling to a gas station and inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the mounting screws under the fifth wheel holding the fiberglass had ripped through the fiberglass. The RV was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a fractured frame. The RV was repaired, but the failure recurred approximately 18 months later. The RV was inspected by an independent mobile technician; however, a definitive diagnosis was currently pending. The failure mileage was unknown.
