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.

Jayco is recalling 1,265 my 2005-2008 seneca '35gs' and my 2007-2008 greyhawk '33ds' and '32ss' motor homes. The conduit clamp on the copper liquid propane (lp) tube feeding the slide-0ut is incorrectly placed which may allow the copper tube to bend and possibly leak with the movement of the slide-out.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the copper tube cracked, pressurized lp gas may escape into the compartment. This condition, if not addressed, may result in a fire, injury or death.

07V005000Received . 1,271 units.
Trailer Hitches
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motor homes, the distance from the rear cap to the hitch receiver encourages the use of longer ball mounts and/or extensions. The longer the ball mount and/or extensions used, the greater the forces that are applied to the fasteners that attach the hitch to the main chassis rails. These increased forces exceed the allowable forces permitted in the fasteners. When this happens, the fasteners may stretch, loosen, or break causing an unsafe towing condition or separation of the hitch from the motor home.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This could result in separation of the towed vehicle from the motor home which could result in a crash, injury or death.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace all mounting hardware with hardware of a higher grade. The recall began on january 22, 2007. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
