NHTSA Complaint #10359996 — 2007 JAYCO GREYHAWK

2007 JAYCO GREYHAWK 33DS THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN THE TRANSFER SWITCH FOR THE MAIN CABIN THAT DAMAGED THE TRANSFER SWITCH, LEFT RESIDUE AND CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SERVICE FAILURE TO THE FRONT OF THE CABIN WHILE OPERATING ON THE ON-BOARD GENERATOR. THIS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS UNTIL A TOTAL FAILURE CEASED OPERATIONS. THE TRANSFER SWITCH WAS ULTIMATELY REPLACED BY A SERVICE DEALER AND THE FAILED UNIT IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF THE SET SCREWS THAT HAD NOT BEEN SECURED PROPERLY DURING MANUFACTURE. I HAVE CONTACTED JAYCO FOR REIMBURSEMENT AS OF TODAY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS FIRE WOULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY OCCURRED WHILE THE UNIT WAS OCCUPIED. I FEEL THAT I AM FORTUNATE THAT A MORE SERIOUS EVENT HAD NOT OCCURRED AND THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE RV IS STILL INTACT. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS AND THE PHYSICAL UNIT IF REQUIRED. *TR
