2017 Jayco Jay Feather Recalls

Safety recall campaigns filed with NHTSA that cover this model year

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov
Recall campaignsA 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.
0
Carrying an NHTSA advisoryCampaigns where NHTSA told owners not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until the repair is done.
0
Open 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.

Recall campaigns

No recall campaigns in our database for this model year

This does not guarantee that a specific vehicle is unaffected. Recalls are issued against ranges of VINs rather than against a whole model year, new campaigns are announced regularly, and a manufacturer may have opened one since our last refresh. The authoritative answer for one vehicle is NHTSA’s own lookup — check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A 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.
Safety investigation
NHTSA 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.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

June 5, 2017, Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) notified NHTSA of a safety-related defect in certain 2017 Jay Flight Bungalow, Hummingbird, White Hawk, Jay Flight SLX, Jay Feather 7, Jay Feather and Jay Flight fifth wheel recreational trailers. A recall, 17V-290 was filed. According to the Report, the trailers are equipped with LED ceiling lights that produce extreme high temperature during normal use which may cause light failure. Some of the failure characteristics noted are melting of the plastic housing, smoldering, and charred and scorched ceiling panels. The excessive heat from the LED ceiling lights may increase the risk of a fire.Jayco identified Command Electronics, Inc. (Command) as the supplier of the ceiling lights. Command has indicated that it supplied the same component to other manufacturers, but has not yet filed a defect information report in accordance with 49 C.F.R. ?573.3(f).RMD opened EQ investigation in 07/21/2017 to obtain information regarding the additional manufacturers that were supplied with the component identified by Jayco, and to determine whether additional safety recalls are required by any of those identified companies.Two years past, RMD found not enough evidences that the same LED ceiling lights would produce extreme high temperature during normal use from other users beside Jayco, Inc. RMD is satisfied with findings. Accordingly, this EQ is closed.
