What is wrong
VanLeigh RV (VanLeigh) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Vilano fifth-wheel recreational trailers. Because the winch that supports the spare tire may not be properly fastened to the trailer, the trailer's spare tire could fall off while unit is in motion.
What could happen
If the spare tire falls off while the unit is in motion, it may increase the risk of a crash.
