Summary: On certain mini-motorhomes equipped with a kitchen slide-out, some 120-volt electrical wires underneath the kitchen sink are routed in such a manner that they could make contact with abrasive components, while the slide-out is being operated and chafe the protective covering creating a possible short circuit. In addition, there is an edge on the slide-out floor that could come in contact with 120-volt electrical wires routed down through the main floor also creating a possible short circuit.
Consequence: If a short circuit occurs in either situation, the circuit breaker will trip. However, if the breaker fails to trip, arcing from the short circuit could ignite any combustible material or items that may be stored in the kitchen sink cabinet and start a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace any damaged wiring and also install a flexible cord and plastic wiring conduit to protect the 120-volt wiring against chafing. Owner notification began August 7, 2002. 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 1-877-825-4782.

Has your Jayco been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Jayco dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
