- The problem
- 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.
- The 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.
- The fix
- 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.

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.
