Problem VanLeigh RV (VanLeigh) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Vilano fifth-wheel recreational trailers. Because the winch that supports the spare tire may not be properly fastened to the trailer, the trailer's spare tire could fall off while unit is in motion. Risk If the spare tire falls off while the unit is in motion, it may increase the risk of a crash. Fix VanLeigh will notify owners, and dealers will secure the spare tire winch with the correct fasteners, free of charge. The recall began on July 10, 2017. Owners may contact VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040. VanLeigh's number for this recall is VL-101.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. VL-101 is the number Vanleigh assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V345000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
