Range is the span of the federal record for this line, not a production span. Disclosed rather than dropped: 2 rows carry a model-year field that is not a usable year, so they are not counted above.

05 The Vilano in this site’s records
Spec pages: 9 floorplans on the Vanleigh RV Vilano line page, for model year 2023. None of those years falls inside the federal record above, which runs 2015 to 2022.
None of the 9 Vilano floorplans here has separate records for two model years, so this site measures no change between years for this line.
What was queried: NHTSA’s model list for recalls carried no model under this line’s name for the makes we queried, so no recall lookup was made under it. The complete recall file added 5 of the 5 campaigns above, and every complaint count comes from the complete complaint file.
Counts of NHTSA records matched on NHTSA’s own model field; a complaint is one owner’s unverified report, and an empty year is an empty record, not a clean one (how this record is built). Check a trailer by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.
