Equipment
Problem: Jayco is recalling certain model year 2011 travel trailers and fifth wheels manufactured from august 16, 2010, through october 1, 2010, equipped with atwood 35 series range ovens. A potential exists for a small fracture within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner. Such a fracture may cause propane gas to leak from the line.
Risk: A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire and/or explosion causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Fix: Jayco is working with atwood and will replace or repair the stoves free of charge. The safety recall began on november 8, 2010. Owners may contact atwood at 1-574-266-4749 or jayco at 1-574-825-0608.
Power train:axle assembly
Problem: Jayco is recalling certain model year 2011 pinnacle fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles. On some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.
Risk: These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles, and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Jayco is working with dexter axle and will inspect the axle serial number and replace it if it falls within the serial number range. Replacement of the axle will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 18, 2010. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267 and dexter axle at 1-800-2164.
