NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
JAYCO IS RECALLING 46 MY 2009 LEGACY SERIES 37RLSA AND 36RLMS FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS. THERE MAY BE A MISSING GROUND WIRE BETWEEN THE TRAILER FRAME AND THE 12-VOLT BUS BAR.
Consequence
IF THIS CONDITION IS NOT ADDRESSED, IT MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE APPROPRIATE GROUND WIRE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
Defect
JAYCO IS RECALLING 28 MY 2009 LEGACY FIFTH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILERS FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THERE IS A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR INCORRECTLY STATING THE TIRE LOAD RANGE AND THE INFLATION PRESSURE ON THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABEL FOR THE REAR AXLE.
Consequence
IF THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE IS NOT USED, IT MAY CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy
ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS CAMPAIGN WERE CORRECTED BEFORE SALE TO CONSUMERS. NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED ON THIS CAMPAIGN.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 2009 Jayco Legacy. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
