• Recall 2019504 [Canada]: Other
  Issue: on certain motorhomes, the hydraulic lines for the levelling system may be routed too close to the exhaust system. This could cause them to overheat and melt. If this happens, hydraulic oil could leak onto the exhaust system. Additionally, a heat shield was not installed over the exhaust system. Safety risk: an oil leak onto a hot exhaust system could cause a fire. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the hydraulic lines for the levelling system. The lines will be rerouted as necessary and a heat shield will be installed.

• Recall 2019167 [Canada]: Electrical
  Issue: on certain motorhomes, the dash blower motor does not have proper fuse protection. As a result, an electrical overload or short circuit could cause the wiring to overheat. Safety risk: wiring that overheats could create a risk of a fire. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealer to install a fuse for the dash blower. A 25 ampere fuse will be installed in position 23 in the power distribution box. Dealers will also install a label in the fuse box noting "fuse position 23 max. 25 a".

• Recall 2017004 [Canada]: Structure

Correction: dealers will install a jam nut to the top of the seat base nut on each affected seat and ensure they are properly torqued.

Since june, 2016, my brand new jayco precept 31ul motorhome has been at the manteca rv dealership while multiple issues are being addressed. When driving it, the rv constantly wandered on the road lane, requiring constant correction to keep it tracking in a straight line. The dangerous problem with steering was referred to an alignment shop in manteca. The recommended fix was repair of the cambers. This has resulted in the steering wheel now out of place. This steering wheel problem was discussed ford, the manufacturer of the chassis, as jayco felt ford should "fix" it. Ford said it was fine when sold to jayco. It is not their responsibility to "fix" it. Jayco is now saying it's not their responsibility either. The steering wheel was in normal steering position until the alignment shop did the camber repair. It is jayco's responsibility to repair this. The steering problem is not the only problem with my rv. It is also an issue for other owners of the 2016 jayco precept 31ul. It appears to be a defect in the manufacturing. I question whether this construction will ever be completely able to work as expected. When we had the use of the motorhome for four days in august (while we were still waiting for the additional problems to be corrected), we drove to southern oregon. At one point in the trip, we heard several very loud banging noises - like bolts popping - underneath the passenger side in the motor location. I don't trust the construction of this motorhome. It is very apparent that quality control was completely missing when this rv was manufactured. We have used it for five days total. The rest of the time, it has been at manteca rv. Now jayco is refusing responsibility for the steering wheel problem. We have not driven the rv since the camber "fix" that has now caused the steering wheel situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jayco precept 34 with a 2015 ford f53 chassis. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle inadvertently steered left and right. The contact was able to control the vehicle, but the vehicle still veered left and right without warning. The contact called the jayco manufacturer at (574) 825-5861 and was informed that it was a ford issue. The contact was advised to take the recreational vehicle to a ford dealer. The vehicle was taken to hemborg ford (1900 hamner ave, norco, ca 92860 (951) 737-6151), but a failure could not be found. The vehicle was then taken to redlands truck and rv performance center (510 amigos dr, redlands, ca 92373 (909) 792-0314) where an alignment was completed and a safe-t plus steering control unit was installed along with a rear trac bar to stop the veering from left to right. The contact was reimbursed for the alignment by the jayco manufacturer. The contact stated that the failure persisted, but was not as bad. The following year, the issue recurred while driving 65 mph. The manufacturer was not notified of the recent failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
