Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

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.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Nov 21, 2017
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
The risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
The 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.

Fire reported

2007 JAYCO GREYHAWK 33DS THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE TRANSFER SWITCH FOR THE MAIN CABIN THAT DAMAGED THE TRANSFER SWITCH, LEFT RESIDUE AND CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SERVICE FAILURE TO THE FRONT OF THE CABIN WHILE OPERATING ON THE ON-BOARD GENERATOR. THIS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS UNTIL A TOTAL FAILURE CEASED OPERATIONS. THE TRANSFER SWITCH WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED BY A SERVICE DEALER AND THE FAILED UNIT IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF THE SET SCREWS THAT HAD NOT BEEN SECURED PROPERLY DURING MANUFACTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED JAYCO FOR REIMBURSEMENT AS OF TODAY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS FIRE WOULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY OCCURRED WHILE THE UNIT WAS OCCUPIED. I FEEL THAT I AM FORTUNATE THAT A MORE SERIOUS EVENT HAD NOT OCCURRED AND THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE RV IS STILL INTACT. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS AND THE PHYSICAL UNIT IF REQUIRED. *TR
