What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Precept Motorhomes manufactured between March 28, 2013, and June 27, 2013. The recall addresses a defect in the attachment mechanism that holds the windshield wiper arm to the wiper motor shaft, which could crack.

If the attachment mechanism cracks, the windshield wiper may detach. This reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on September 5, 2013.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper arm at no charge. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
