Jayco Precept Recall 20V662: Overhead bunk may drop while driving, risking crash

NHTSA campaign 20V662, reported October 28, 2020, 165 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2021 recreational vehicles equipped with a Power Bedlift System may have a bedlift motor that fails due to internal gear failure. When this happens, the overhead bunk bed can release from its stowed position while the vehicle is moving.

If the bed drops unexpectedly, it could strike the driver and possibly block their view of the road, which raises the risk of a crash and injury. Owners should stop using the bedlift and arrange a repair as soon as possible.

Jayco will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will replace the bed motor at no cost to you. You can also contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137, referencing recall number 9903525.
