What this recall means for you
Certain 2018 Octane travel trailers with an optional generator may have been built without the generator exhaust pipe installed. Without that pipe, the generator's exhaust can enter the trailer, which increases the risk of injury.
If you own an affected trailer, contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 and reference recall number 9901406. Authorized dealers will install any missing generator exhaust pipe free of charge.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls. Until the repair is done, consider whether your generator should be used, and follow the owner's manual guidance for safe generator operation.
