- The defect
- VLRV, LLC (Vanleigh RV) is recalling certain 2022 Beacon and Vilano travel trailers. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.
- What it can cause
- An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect, and if necessary replace the awning, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2022. Owners may contact Vanleigh RV customer service at 1-662-612-4040. Vanleigh RV's number for this recall is VL-105.
- 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.nhtsa.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 47 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Vanleigh vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V355000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V490000 (structure), 21V355000 (equipment).
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 VLRV, LLC (Vanleigh RV) with NHTSA on July 29, 2022 as campaign 22V555000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
