Manufacturer: Jayco, Inc.


SUMMARY:
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2014 Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift Travel Trailers manufactured July 8, 2013, through August 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, an improper amount of insulation may be stripped from the 110V AC water heater ignition wires resulting in a poor connection of the wires.
CONSEQUENCE:
A poor wiring connection could increase the wiring's resistance, causing excessive heat, resulting in an increased risk of fire.
REMEDY:
Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the installation of the LP/Electric water heater and repair it as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early December 2013. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
