2022 VANLEIGH VILANO Complaints and Recall Information
The 2022 Vanleigh Vilano has 3 complaints and 3 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues with cabinets and shelves separating from walls, a refrigerator falling into the aisle, power inverter failure near the refrigerator, and frame damage discovered during repairs. One owner stated the RV remained unrepaired at the dealer for over a year despite providing evidence of these defects.
Common Issues- Cabinet separation. Cabinets detach from the wall and hit adjacent components, creating safety hazards during travel.
- Refrigerator detachment. The refrigerator separates from its mounting and falls into the aisle while the RV is in motion.
- Power inverter failure. The refrigerator’s power inverter failed and nearly caused a fire.
- Shelf detachment. Shelves separated from their mounts, fracturing nearby curtain valances.
- Frame damage. Frame found to be fractured and crushed during water heater replacement, indicating possible manufacturing defects.
- Extended repair delays. One RV remained at the dealer unrepaired for nearly two years despite documented defects.
Three recalls involve various equipment and safety issues affecting the 2022 Vanleigh Vilano. The recalls focus on awning fabric separation, gas leaks from water heater components, and related safety risks. These recalls require inspections, repairs, or part replacements to address potential hazards.
Recalls- Awning fabric. NHTSA Recall 22V555000 affected 47 vehicles. The electric retractable awning may have a welded seam that can separate, causing the awning to drop or extend improperly, increasing injury risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the awning if needed at no cost.
- Water heater gas leak. NHTSA Recall 21V355000 affected 366 vehicles from 2019-2022 models. The water heater housing may be improperly sealed, allowing gas to enter the coach and raising fire risk. Dealers will install a grommet and secure gas line sleeves free of charge.
- Water heater system. This recall overlaps with the gas leak issue, addressing the same defect and fix under recall 21V355000.
Owners with repeated repairs for frame damage, power inverter failures, or unresolved recall-related issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a qualified attorney could clarify options based on repair history and unresolved safety concerns.
