Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 Greyhawk motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the brake relay valve, which may have an air flow restriction due to a partially blocked orifice. This issue can cause extended stopping distances, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

The defect increases the risk of a crash because the increase in stopping distance occurs without warning. The recall covers 2020 model year Greyhawk motorhomes manufactured by Jayco, Inc.

Spartan will notify Jayco owners, and Spartan dealers will inspect and replace the brake relay valve, if necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
