What this recall covers

The remedy

DEALERS WILL SEAL THE PERFORATED GAS TANK AND RE-SECURE THE REFRIGERATOR CABINET AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK AND INTO THE FRAME.

OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 14, 2000. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-219-825-5861.

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.
