Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Eagle, Eagle HT, NorthPoint, Pinnacle, Talon, and Seismic fifth-wheel recreational trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the strap that secures the liquid propane (LP) gas bottle may separate from its buckle, failing to secure the propane tank.

An unsecured propane tank could detach from the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, a detached tank could leak propane, increasing the risk of a fire. The recall began on July 27, 2018.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the propane tank securing strap with a new strap that has the correct crimping, free of charge. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
