Recalls filed by Jayco

Electrical System #16V713000 · 2016 · 137 units

Problem: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2017 Seismic travel trailers manufactured November 19, 2015, to August 19, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an underrated resettable fuse for the awning with LED lights.

Risk: The incorrect fuse may not properly protect the circuit, allowing an electrical short to occur and increasing the risk of a fire.

Fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuse with the correct 1.85 amp hold/3.70 amp trip fuse, free of charge. The recall began on November 3, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901321.

Service Brakes, Electrical System #17V066000 · 2017 · 93 units

Problem: Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Seismic and Seismic Wave fifth-wheel recreational trailers equipped with hydraulic brakes. In the affected vehicles, the break away switch may not be properly wired.

Risk: If the break away switch does not function correctly due to improper wiring and the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle during transit, the fifth wheel brakes will not automatically apply, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will correct the wiring, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2017. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901344.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic #19V169000 · 2019 · 73 units

Problem: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Seismic fifth wheel trailers equipped with optional hydraulic brakes. The brake lines may have been incorrectly routed between the frame and axle, possibly resulting in the brake lines being pinched or cut.

Risk: Damaged brake lines may reduce the trailer's braking ability, increasing the risk of crash.

Fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake lines, correcting and replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 15, 2019. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901426.

The regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure.

Risk: Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
