Plain-English summary

Jayco is recalling approximately 87,649 2017-2021 Jayco travel trailers and fifth wheels equipped with a Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator. The affected models include Designer, Eagle, Eagle HT, Eagle HTX, Jay Feather, Jay Flight, Jay Flight SLX, Jay Flight Bungalow, North Point, Octane, Octane Superlite, Pinnacle, and White Hawk.

The propane regulator may fail, causing an increase in propane pressure. Increased propane pressure can enlarge the flames in gas appliances, increasing the risk of a fire.
