- Summary
- On certain motor homes, the distance from the rear cap to the hitch receiver encourages the use of longer ball mounts and/or extensions. The longer the ball mount and/or extensions used, the greater the forces that are applied to the fasteners that attach the hitch to the main chassis rails. These increased forces exceed the allowable forces permitted in the fasteners. When this happens, the fasteners may stretch, loosen, or break causing an unsafe towing condition or separation of the hitch from the motor home.
- Consequence
- This could result in separation of the towed vehicle from the motor home which could result in a crash, injury or death.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace all mounting hardware with hardware of a higher grade. The recall began on January 22, 2007. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.

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.
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.
