Jayco is recalling 2017 Eagle fifth-wheel recreational vehicles with the dry camping option because the LP manifold can crack, causing a propane gas leak and increasing fire risk.

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 (cracked LP manifold) that results in a propane gas leak, which explicitly increases the risk of fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
