CarRecallWatch- Component
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
- Problem
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019 Jayco Jay Flight travel trailers. The turn signal and brake lights were wired incorrectly causing the lights to work intermittently, preventing other drivers from knowing the intentions of the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- If the rear turn signals and brake lights do not operate as intended, other drivers will not be properly notified of stopping or turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Jayco has notified owners, and dealers will correctly wire the rear turn signals and brake lights to the 7-way trailer cord, free of charge. The recall began October 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901408.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The turn signal and brake lights on this travel trailer were wired incorrectly, so they may work only some of the time. Other drivers may not be able to tell when you are stopping or turning, which raises the risk of a crash. The trailer also does not meet federal lighting requirements.
If you own an affected trailer, contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 or take it to an authorized dealer. Dealers will correctly wire the rear turn signals and brake lights to the 7-way trailer cord at no charge. Owners can also check their VIN for open recalls.
