Jayco is recalling 2,491 recreational vehicles because a damaged awning motor may cause the awning to unfurl unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash due to an unexpected mechanical failure, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, fatalities, or agency classifications that would elevate the severity to Severe or Critical.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 recreational vehicles, including the Eagle Premiere, Jay Feather Ultra Lite, Jay Flight, Jay Flight Swift, Octane, White Hawk, Eagle, Eagle HT, Jay Flight Bungalow, Jay Flight Destination, Pinnacle, Redhawk, Seismic, and Precept. The recall covers 2,491 units.

The defect involves the awning installation sequence. If this sequence is not completely followed, the awning motor may become damaged.

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 Jayco at 1-800-283-8267 for more information or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
