NHTSA campaign record ↗18V109000 · Equipment:Mechanical:Integrated Jack/Leveler/Stabilizer
Reported: 2018-02-14 (February 14, 2018) · Model years: 2018
Lance Camper Manufacturing Corp.

The laminated plastic touch pad on the jack may crack or separate allowing water to enter, potentially causing the jack to operate unintentionally.

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.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2019: 1 complaints · 2022: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
