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 vehicle defect (wheel studs) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Jayco Precept and Precept Prestige motorhomes built on a Ford chassis and equipped with 22.5-inch front wheels. The recall addresses a defect where the front wheel hub assembly may have wheel studs that were not properly heat treated.

If a sufficient quantity of wheel studs break on one hub, vehicle handling could be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
