Example complaints
Suspension: “This is my second report with two different incidents of failure. These failures are connected to the Lippert frame of my fifth wheel trailer. While, traveling in Indiana near Gary, Indiana my leafspring on the rear axle on the driver side gave away, causing the trailer to veer hard to the left. Fortunately, there was no one to my left and I was able to regain control and get to the shoulder. After inspecting, I determined that the pin holding the leaf springs together sheared off after going over a bridge expansion joint. …”
NHTSA complaint #11590067, filed 2024-05Other or unknown: “I purchased this vehicle new July 14, 2022. On its first trip, I noticed a gap starting on the side panels near the overhang of the 5th wheel. I reported this to the dealer and they determined that there was excessive flame flex. The vehicle had to be taken back to the manufacturer to be repaired. I’m still having issues with frame flex. This 5th wheel weighs 18,500 pounds and the fact that there is broken components to the frame put all of us at risk of great bodily harm or death. This is an issue in the RV 5th wheel industry that needs to be addressed immediately.”
NHTSA complaint #11569747, filed 2024-02Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2022 Vanleigh Beacon RV Trader. The contact stated while his friend was driving his RV trader at 30 mph while trying to brake, he felt a delay in the brake pedal. The trader was taken to the dealer on a separate occasion. The dealer diagnosed that the brakes needed to be flushed. The manufacturer flushed the brakes but the failure continued. The RV trader was not repaired. The Rv trader was towed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage 400,000.”
