Jayco issues third safety recall notice this year relating to motorhomes
Jayco has announced a safety recall in relation to a number of its motorhomes and fifth-wheel caravans, which were discontinued recently.

Australia’s largest RV manufacturer is recalling 94 motorhomes and fifth-wheelers with chassis numbers between S20001 and T90194.

Jayco said the defect relates to a 240V power point positioned “too close to the ensuite sink and (that) does not comply with the standard.

“If water is splashed onto the power point it may cause an electric shock hazard.”

Owners of affected models should “call your closest Jayco Dealer or Jayco Authorised Service agent and book your van in for inspection and possible rectification.”

It’s the third safety recall this year, and the second this month from Jayco in relation to its range of motorhomes.

Earlier this month Jayco recalled 1463 campervans (with chassis numbers between T12203 and U19103) with a potentially faulty roof lifting system that could drop up to 450mm during opening or closing operations and “pose a potential crushing hazard to hands or limbs”.

In February, a recall was also issued due to a potential problem with a seatbelt not working properly. The affected Jayco motorhomes had selected chassis numbers between 605454 and T90180.

“The seat belt bolt in the rear compartment section of the motorhome may work itself loose over time,” Jayco said at the time. “Should the bolt become loose, there is a risk of the seat belt not operating correctly for any passengers seated in the rear cabin area.”

Yes they have recalls. A Class C is built on a van chassis and vans like any other vehicle do have recalls.

What I like, compared to years ago, is back then if you weren't the original owner you were left hanging out in the cold as to notice of recalls never knowing about them.

Now if you pull into a dealership they run your vin and up pops all the recalls relating to your vehicle. Very slick, and IMHO a must for safety issues.

When I bought my first new to me used Class C and took it in for an oil change and the dealership immediately told me of 2 recalls on it. While it was there for the oil change they took care of both recalls no charge.

They are rare, and usually for chassis problems. Most of the platforms have been mature for a long time, so it has mostly been the Sprinter getting recalls and warranty extensions. I expect to see more, now that we have two new vehicles being used as C motorhome chassis.

NHTSA concerns are focused on vehicle safety issues, would cover defects in safety equipment in the house, or structural problems like things falling when the vehicle is in motion.

Safety or standards compliance issues associated with the use of the house as a house fall under other authorities, so we get consumer product recalls for things like defective microwaves and refrigerators that catch fire. These usually fall back to the component manufacturer.

I had a recall on my Itasca about 10 yrs ago that I took care of at Lazy Days

Recalls tend to be relatively rare in the US, in general.
