NHTSA recall 18V451000
Equipment · Jayco, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jayco Alante, Precept, Seneca, Redhawk, and Melbourne motorhomes. The cargo carrying capacity (ccc) label incorrectly overstates the cargo capacity, potentially causing the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 120, "wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."
Why it matters: An overloaded vehicle has an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Jayco will notify owners, and will provided a corrected ccc label, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2018.
