What this recall means for you
On certain 2018 motorhomes, the hydraulic hoses for the leveling system can be damaged because of where they are routed. This can cause a hydraulic fluid leak, and the leaking fluid may spray onto the exhaust system.
Hydraulic fluid contacting a hot exhaust system increases the risk of a fire. Owners should watch for signs of a leak under the vehicle and have the system checked promptly.
Jayco will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the hose locations and replace any damaged hoses at no cost to you. Contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 with questions, and use your vehicle identification number to check for any open recalls.
