Exterior Lighting, Electrical System #16V195000 · 2016 · 43 units
Problem: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016 Octane travel trailers, model 222(v2), manufactured March 23, 2016, to March 30, 2016. The turn signal wires on the affected trailers may be crossed, activating the opposite turn signal of the one intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."
Risk: Crossed turn signal wires may confuse other drivers by incorrectly indicating the intended direction and thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the wiring, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 25, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901293.
Electrical System #16V560000 · 2016 · 3,085 units
Problem: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Jay Feather, Jay Flight, Jay Flight SLX, Eagle, White Hawk, and Octane travel trailers manufactured January 5, 2016, to July 18, 2016, equipped with a sway command anti-sway system. When connected to certain tow vehicles that have an integrated brake controller, and after the anti-sway system has applied the trailer brakes in response to a sway event, the trailer brakes may no longer function to slow or stop the trailer.
Risk: A loss of trailer brakes may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will remove the sway command system from the affected travel trailers, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901308.
