What this recall means for you
Certain 2017 Jayco travel trailers and fifth wheels are equipped with a Winntec model 6020 two-stage propane regulator that may fail. When it does, propane pressure can increase, which enlarges the flames in gas appliances.
The higher flame size raises the risk of a fire in the trailer. Owners should take this seriously and check whether their trailer is included in the recall, then confirm the status of their vehicle using its VIN for any open recalls.
Authorized Jayco dealers will replace the propane regulator and test the propane system for leaks at no cost to the owner. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 with questions.
