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 safety-critical warning system failure that increases the risk of injury in a crash, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2020 Redhawk SE motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect where the seatbelt-unfastened warning light fails to illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is moved to the "on" or "start" position. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Without the seatbelt warning reminder, drivers may forget to fasten their seatbelts, which increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash. The recall began on October 9, 2019.

Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster to correct the issue 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 for more information.
