Defect description

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

Safety risk

Manufacturer 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.
