Jayco Recalls 2014 Jay Flight Trailers Due to Fire Risk

Jayco is recalling 2014 Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift travel trailers because improper wire insulation may cause excessive heat and increase the risk of fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (electrical wiring) that explicitly results in an increased risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift travel trailers manufactured between July 8, 2013, and August 30, 2013. The recall involves 247 vehicles.

In the affected trailers, an improper amount of insulation may be stripped from the 110V AC water heater ignition wires. This can result in a poor connection, which increases the wiring's resistance and causes excessive heat, thereby increasing the risk of fire.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the installation of the LP/Electric water heater and repair it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 12, 2013. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
