WHILE PARKED, OUR GRAY WATER TANK BECAME FULL, BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET A CHANCE TO EMPTY IT, THE ENTIRE TANK BROKE FREE FROM THE CAMPER AND FELL TO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENED JUST HOURS AFTER COMPLETING A 5 HOUR DRIVE ACROSS STATE WITH THE CAMPER. HAD IT BROKEN FREE WHILE ON THE ROAD, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. UPON CONTACTING THEM, JAYCO REFUSED TO COVER ANY PORTION OF REPAIRS, DUE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN, OR THAT THE TANK FALLING OFF SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. INTERNET RESEARCH LED US TO ANOTHER OWNER OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR CAMPER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO REATTACH THE SAME TANK, CITING A SAFETY ISSUE, AND GOT A NEW TANK APPROVED BY JAYCO BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL TANK (ACCORDING TO THE POST) " ISN'T HOLDING ITS PRE MOLDED FORM AND AS A RESULT DEFORMS AS IT FILLS UP. THIS DEFORMATION ALLOWS IT TO SLIP OUT OF THE L-BRACKETS THAT HOLD IT UP". HERE IS THE LINK TO THAT POST HTTP://WWW.JAYCOOWNERS.COM/FORUMS/F41/2013-JAYFLIGHT-SWIFT-267BHS-PROBLEM-DESIGN-FLAW-15395.HTML
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2013-14 Eagle Premiere, Jay Feather Ultra Lite, Jay Flight, Jay Flight Swift, Octane, and White Hawk; model year 2013 Eagle, Eagle HT, Jay Flight Bungalow, Jay Flight Destination, Pinnacle, Redhawk and Seismic; and model year 2014 Precept recreational vehicles. In these vehicles, if the awning installation sequence is not completely followed, the awning motor may unknowingly become damaged.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the awning motor free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2013. Owners may contact Jacyo at 1-800-283-8267 for more information.
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Jay Flight Swift SLX Travel trailers manufactured from October 24, 2011, through July 3, 2012. These trailers may have oversized bearings installed in the axle. This may cause excessive movement in the wheel hub, causing the bearings to become overheated and worn.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Overheated and worn bearings may lead to axle failure while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the axle bearings with proper size bearings, free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2012. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
