What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2022 Jayco Seneca, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Airbags
Reports naming the air-bag system — deployment behaviour, inflators, sensors and warning lights.
From owner reports, verbatim
The vehicle sticker states that driver and passenger airbags are standard equipment. There are in fact NO AIRBAGS!! I brought this to the dealers attention at the time of our first service. The dealer said that it was a Freightliner issue and to contact Freightliner. I did so by email. Freightliner stated that their S2RV Chassis have never come with airbags and at this point they have no intention of adding them. I contacted Jayco customer service by email and they said "Its a typo". Jayco has been representing that their Super C Senecas have had driver and passenger airbags since at least 2012. They have not had airbags since Jayco switched to the Freightliner S2RV Chassis.
The Jayco manufacturer window sticker for our newly purchased RV states it has driver and passenger airbags as standard equipment, and we bought the vehicle expecting it to have this safety feature. The vehicle does not have this safety feature and the manufacturer (Jayco) stated they will not do anything to rectify the missing vehicle safety equipment as promised.

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.
