23V771000Electrical SystemNovember 16, 2023 · 134 units

Defect

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Entegra Emblem, Vision, Vision XL, Jayco Alante, Precept, and Precept Prestige motorhomes. Corrosion in the Smart Data Link Connector (SDLC) may interfere with the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication, resulting in an inoperative instrument panel. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."

Consequence

An inoperative instrument panel cannot show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Ford dealers will install a wire harness connector, and inspect and replace the SDLC module, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2023. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267.

Defect

Consequence

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and replace the window shade, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2023. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903592.

23V318000BrakesMay 4, 2023 · 63 units

Defect

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Entegra Emblem, Vision, Vision XL, Jayco Alante, Precept, and Precept Prestige motorhomes, built on Ford F-53 chassis. The rear brake caliper attachment bolts may not be tightened correctly, which can allow the caliper to loosen and possibly damage the wheel or brake lines.

Consequence

A damaged wheel can result in a loss of tire pressure. A damaged brake line can cause a brake fluid leak and reduce brake performance. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Jayco will notify owners, and Ford dealers will inspect and tighten the rear caliper bolts, as necessary, free of charge. In addition, any damaged bolts will be replaced, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 24, 2023. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267.
