- The 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.
- What it can cause
- Gas inside the coach increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 366 vehicles this is a small campaign: 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Vanleigh vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in March 2017 as 17V183000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V555000 (equipment), 21V490000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by VanLeigh RV with NHTSA on May 14, 2021 as campaign 21V355000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
