Jayco Recalls 2013-2015 Trailers Due to Failing Entry Step Rivets

Jayco is recalling 2,747 model year 2013-2015 Seismic and Eagle Premier trailers because entry step rivets may shear, causing steps to fail and occupants to fall.

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 structural component failure (rivet shearing) that poses a risk of personal injury from falling, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Seismic Pinnacle and Eagle Premier recreational trailers manufactured between April 3, 2013, and February 27, 2015. The recall involves 2,747 units. The defect involves a rivet for the quad entry steps that may shear and fail, causing the steps to give way when being used.

If the rivet shears under the weight of an occupant, the occupant may fall, which increases the risk of personal injury. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective rivets with bolts free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2015. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
