NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Jayco Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2018 Jayco Octane travel trailers, models VH and VF, equipped with an optional generator. During production, the generator exhaust pipe may not have been installed, allowing the generator's exhaust to enter the trailer.
The risk
If exhaust were to enter the trailer, it can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
Jayco has notifed owners, and dealers will install any missing generator exhaust pipes, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901406.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
