Jayco is recalling 2010-2011 Greyhawk Class C motor homes due to an improper electrical connection that could cause overheating, melting, and a fire.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the defect increases the risk of a fire, injury, or death. Per the rubric, significant injury or property-damage reports (or explicit risk of death/serious injury in vehicle recalls) align with a Severe (4) classification, as no fatalities are reported to trigger Critical (5).

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Greyhawk Class C motor homes manufactured between May 28, 2009, and September 22, 2010. The recall addresses an improper electrical connection at the buss bar on the affected transfer switches.

This defect could lead to overheating and melting of the transfer switch, which increases the risk of a fire, injury, or death. The source text does not specify the number of affected units or report any specific incidents of injury or death.

Dealers will replace the transfer switch free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during November 2011. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
