Defect Description
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR CAP TO THE HITCH RECEIVER ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LONGER BALL MOUNTS AND/OR EXTENSIONS. THE LONGER THE BALL MOUNT AND/OR EXTENSIONS USED, THE GREATER THE FORCES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE FASTENERS THAT ATTACH THE HITCH TO THE MAIN CHASSIS RAILS. THESE INCREASED FORCES EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE FORCES PERMITTED IN THE FASTENERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE FASTENERS MAY STRETCH, LOOSEN, OR BREAK CAUSING AN UNSAFE TOWING CONDITION OR SEPARATION OF THE HITCH FROM THE MOTOR HOME.
Safety Consequence
THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE MOTOR HOME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE WITH HARDWARE OF A HIGHER GRADE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 22, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
