NCAP overall
1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FOLDING CAMPERS. A FLEXIBLE BRAKE HOSE IS NOT CLAMPED IN A POSITION AWAY FROM THE TIRE, WHICH CAN LEAD TO CHAFFING OF THE HOSE CAUSING A LEAK OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Consequence
THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL ADD A CLAMP TO THE BRAKE HOSE.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 2001 Jayco Heritage. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
