What's wrong?
In the 2022 Lance 650, 825, 865, 1062, and 1172 truck campers, the water heater uses a data cable to carry signals between the control panel and the heater. That cable tells the heater when to operate and lets the panel show whether the unit is responding. It belongs in a protected route, away from hot combustion parts.
On affected campers, the data cable was routed incorrectly through the cold water inlet area, leaving it against the burner box. The burner box gets hot when the heater fires. Heat from that box melted the cable insulation, which breaks the control connection and stops the water heater from operating as designed.
The warning sign is practical: the water heater control panel stops working, and the water heater does not operate. If that happens, the control cable has lost the connection the heater needs to respond.
Who's affected?
Each listed Lance model uses the same electric water heater gas connector kit.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A data cable resting on the burner box can short and increase the risk of a fire. Watch for a water heater control panel warning or a water heater that will not operate, then leave the water heater off and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised Lance dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Lance 825, 650, 1172, 865, or 1062 truck camper is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Lance dealer to schedule the free data-cable rerouting that moves the cable away from the burner box.
- Bring the recall notice if Lance mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V200 when you call.
- Avoid using the water heater until the data cable is rerouted and the dealer confirms the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lance technician reroutes the data cable so it no longer runs through the cold water inlet or rests on the burner box. The recall repair is available now, and the cable rerouting is free. Owner letters were mailed April 22, 2022, so a Lance dealer should be able to look up campaign 22V200 and handle the labor through the recall claim process.
