The contact owns a 2021 Jayco Jay Flight. The contact stated that while utilizing the RV for recreational purposes, the contact became aware that the propane stove, furnace, and water heater were no longer functioning. No warning lights were illuminated. The RV was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the propane regulator. The contact was also made aware that the refrigerator would only run on electricity. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V685000 (Equipment); the VIN was included, but parts were not available at the time. The contact later received notification that the remedy was available, prompting the contact to attempt to schedule the repair but the contact was unable to locate a service center. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was later informed that records showed that the RV had already been repaired. The contact adamantly disputed the RV recall records; stating that the RV had never been taken into a service center for the repair as stated by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was unknown.

We recently purchased this camper and in preparation I crawled under it and looked around and what I saw made me cringe. The welding on the frame was the worst welding I've seen in years on a product for sale the main beams that tie the camper front to back were only welded on one side of the beam and there are four sides that could be welded. And upon further inspection found the weld on the main beam in the rear has already started to crack side.mounts for the camper body are only welded half the length of the bracket to the frame. The only thing I can is I contacted jayco and their response was I need to talk to the frame manufacturer. I said no I won't you sold it it's your responsibility to check incoming parts and make sure it meets specification. Not satisfied with there response said if I send pictures they would contact them on my behalf. I've thought about it and this kind of product should not be sold The total Miles of this camper is less than 1200 miles. And weld's are already failing. This needs to be looked into before someone gets killed

The underbelly material blew off the RV, along with other insulation material, while driving on the Interstate. I was driving under the speed limit and in the far right lane. The material blew across the other lanes of traffic and, luckily, did not cause an accident. The same issue occurred less than a year ago and I had just got the RV back from the repair facility at Camping World in Albuquerque NM. I do have some pictures of both occurrences.

With only 1,400 miles on RV, it was noticed that both the driver and passenger side rear tires had worn down to the belts on the inside.

With only 1,400 miles on RV, it was noticed that both the driver and passenger side rear tires had worn down to the belts on the inside. The axles have been replaced so they are likely no longer available for inspection, although I do have pictures. The safety risk is that had the faulty suspension parts completely failed, the axles could have become disengaged from the RV causing a major accident. The tires were also close to complete failure. The problem was confirmed by a service technician at a Jayco dealer.

We have experienced an axle failure on our 2021 Jayco Travel Trailer. The trailer has never been over GVW. After a month of discussion with Lippert/Jayco they are unwilling to correct the following issue. Lippert's axle sticker (photo attached) states the Static Load Radius as measured is 11.9" & not to exceed this rating by more than 10%. The Baja Edition option as built by Jayco comes with 16" wheels & off road Goodyear tires. My Measurement of the SLR is 14.6" which exceeds the warning on the Lippert axle sticker. This is what I believe contributed to my axle failure. Our safety was put at great risk with this failure.
