Consequence: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury. (excerpt)

Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

08V209000

Date: 2008-05-07. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: JAYCO IS RECALLING 1,673 MY 2005-2008 SENECA MOTOR HOMES. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR IF THE BATTERY CABLES WERE NOT TUCKED INTO THE COMPARTMENT IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CABLES TO BE PINCHED BETWEEN THE BATTERY SLIDE TRAY AND THE COMPARTMENT DOOR.

Consequence: IF THIS CONDITION IS NOT ADDRESSED, IT MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE BATTERY CABLES TO THE REAR BATTERY AND REPOSITION A CLAMP TO PREVENT PINCHING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 26, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-574-825-5861.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

08V207000

Date: 2008-05-06. Systems: EQUIPMENT.

Defect: JAYCO IS RECALLING 1,265 MY 2005-2008 SENECA '35GS' AND MY 2007-2008 GREYHAWK '33DS' AND '32SS' MOTOR HOMES. THE CONDUIT CLAMP ON THE COPPER LIQUID PROPANE (LP) TUBE FEEDING THE SLIDE-0UT IS INCORRECTLY PLACED WHICH MAY ALLOW THE COPPER TUBE TO BEND AND POSSIBLY LEAK WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE SLIDE-OUT.

Consequence: IF THE COPPER TUBE CRACKED, PRESSURIZED LP GAS MAY ESCAPE INTO THE COMPARTMENT. THIS CONDITION, IF NOT ADDRESSED, MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE CONDUIT CLAMP AND ADD A RUBBER GROMMET TO ALLOW ADHESION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 26, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-574-825-5861.

07V005000

Date: 2007-01-04. Systems: TRAILER HITCHES.

Defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR CAP TO THE HITCH RECEIVER ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LONGER BALL MOUNTS AND/OR EXTENSIONS. THE LONGER THE BALL MOUNT AND/OR EXTENSIONS USED, THE GREATER THE FORCES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE FASTENERS THAT ATTACH THE HITCH TO THE MAIN CHASSIS RAILS. THESE INCREASED FORCES EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE FORCES PERMITTED IN THE FASTENERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE FA (excerpt)

Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE MOTOR HOME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH. (excerpt)

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE WITH HARDWARE OF A HIGHER GRADE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 22, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267. (excerpt)

06V084000

Date: 2006-03-30. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHEVROLET CHASSIS WERE PRODUCED WITH A BODY WIRING HARNESS WITH NO PROTECTIVE CONDUIT IN THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVER'S FEET TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR HARNESS WEAR. THE BODY WIRING HARNESS INCLUDES SDM WIRING THAT COULD BE DAMAGED FROM CHAFING AND WEAR BY THE VEHICLE OPERATORS.

Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. A PERSON MAY RECEIVE MINOR INJURIES, SUCH AS ABRASIONS, FROM CONTACT WITH THE BAG.

Remedy: GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET DIVISION IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. CHEVROLET WILL INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR POTENTIAL DAMAGE, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE HARNESS IF REQUIRED, AND ADD CONDUIT TO ALL HARNESSES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
