Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

SHUT OFF WATER, AND FOUND A HIDDEN IN LINE CHECK VALVE MODEL 571 FROM B AND B MFG HAD MALFUNCTIONED, ALLOWING WATER TO FLOOD THE FURNACE/WATERHEATER COMPARTMENT, BEDROOM FLOOR, AND OTHER AREAS. FURNACE IS 12V, BUT WH IS DUAL GAS/110V, THUS HAD THE WH BEEN OPERATING ON 110, AND WATER GOT TO THE ELECT WIRES, MY WIFE, WHO WAS WALKING BAREFOOTED IN BR, COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. B AND B REQUIRES THE MFG TO PLACE THEIR WARNING TAG AT INLET AND NOT ENCLOSE THE VALVE IN A HIDDEN AREA, FOR IT CAN " VENT WATER DURING NORMAL FUNCTIONING." NEITHER OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS FROM B AND B OCCURRED ON MY UNIT. I HAVE BLOGGED WITH OTHERS ON THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE FOUND THE SAME VALVE PROBLEM, DATEING BACK TO 2010, ON BOTH JAYCO AND OTHER MFGS. I'AM THE SECOND OWNER, SO WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY. JAYCO CORPORATE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE SORRY ABOUT THE ABSENT TAG, AND TO JUST DO AWAY WITH THE VALVE. WHAT ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME VALVE? LIKE ME, THE PROBLEM IS FOUND, WITH OUT ANY WARNING, *TR ## VIN PASSED ## JAYCO EAGLE SERIES 298RLS ##

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
