Jayco Recalls 2015-2017 Redhawk Motorhomes Due to Fire Risk

Jayco is recalling 2015-2017 Redhawk motorhomes because liquid leakage into the driver's power window switch can cause corrosion and increase the risk of a 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 corrosion) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe rating involving significant injury or property-damage reports.
