What this recall means for you
The awning circuit on certain fifth wheel trailers has a 15-amp fuse where a 5-amp fuse should be installed. The incorrect fuse does not protect the circuit at the correct level.
If a short circuit occurs in the awning circuit, the oversized fuse may fail to cut power quickly, which can increase the risk of a fire.
An authorized dealer will replace the 15-amp fuse with a 5-amp fuse at no cost to you. You can contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137, and you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
