What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES, EXPOSURE TO HEAT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE CABLE CONSTRAINT COMPONENTS. THIS COULD ALLOW THE ELECTRICAL CABLES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH, OR BE DAMAGED BY, EXHAUST COMPONENTS.

The risk

THIS COULD CAUSE DETERIORATION OF CABLE INSULATION OR SHORTING OF ELECTRICAL CABLES RESULTING IN A FIRE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL METAL CABLE TIES AND HEAT SHIELDS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 1, 2004. 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 1-574-825-0608.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
