What this recall means for you
Certain motorhomes built between October 2014 and June 2016 have a driver seat that can loosen and separate from its base, especially after the seat has been swiveled around. If the seat detaches while the vehicle is moving, the driver may lose control, which raises the risk of a crash.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will install a jam nut on top of the seat base nut to keep the seat secured. Owners can also contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 and reference recall number 9903310. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your motorhome is affected.
