What this recall means for you
Certain 2018 travel trailers were built with adjustable utility receivers that may have insufficient welds. As a result, items attached to the receiver, such as a bicycle rack, may not be properly positioned or supported.
If a component like a bicycle rack is not properly supported, it may contact the road. This can create road debris and increase the risk of a crash. Owners should stop using the receiver with any attached load until the issue is addressed.
Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp. is notifying owners of this recall. Owners can return the receiver for a refund of their purchase, or choose a bike rack that mounts on the front of the trailer at no cost. Contact Lance Camper customer service at 1-661-949-3322 for details, and check your vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
