   Equipment

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

2. 10V649000Received 17 Dec 2010. 387 units.

   Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco is recalling certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began on january 31, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.

   Report filed by JAYCO, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 31 Jan 2011.

3. 09V288000Received 23 Jul 2009. 273 units.

   Equipment

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco is recalling 273 model year 2002-2004 legacy fifth wheel motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from march 1, 2001 to december 31, 2002, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Jayco will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2009. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267 or norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.

   Report filed by JAYCO, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 31 Jul 2009.

4. 04V364000Received 21 Jul 2004. 742 units.

   Wheels

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain travel trailers, due to various factors, including excessive paint coating on the brake hub, the aluminum wheels could exhibit lessened clamping pressure between the aluminum wheel and the axle hub assembly.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This could lead to wheel separation, which could result in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect all wheels, lugs, studs and mating surfaces, and remove paint from the mating surfaces of the wheel and hub. The recall began on october 18, 2004. Owners should contact jayco at 1-219-825-5861.

   Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain motor homes equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or jayco at 1-574-825-0608.
