2014 Jayco Jay Flight Swift problems

Defect

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2014 Jay Flight Swift travel trailers manufactured January 10, 2014, through January 13, 2014, and equipped with the Baja Option. The Federal Certification and Tire Labels have the tire size incorrectly listed as ST205/75R14C instead of LT235/75R15C. Thus, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

Consequence

If the consumer installs a tire on the trailer that is specified on the incorrect label, it may cause uneven wear on the tire and towing instability which could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect Federal Certification and Tire Labels with new labels with the correct tire information as LT235/75R15C. The recall began on March 24, 2014. Customers may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.

Defect

Jayco is recalling certain model year 2014 Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift Travel Trailers manufactured July 8, 2013, through August 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, an improper amount of insulation may be stripped from the 110V AC water heater ignition wires resulting in a poor connection of the wires.

Consequence

A poor wiring connection could increase the wiring's resistance, causing excessive heat, resulting in an increased risk of fire.

Remedy

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the installation of the LP/Electric water heater and repair it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2013. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.

In these vehicles, if the awning installation sequence is not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowingly become damaged.

Consequence

If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Jayco will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the awning motor free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2013. Owners may contact Jacyo at 1-800-283-8267 for more information.
