The front cap was not properly installed on the passenger's side of the vehicle. Yes vehicle is available for inspection if needed. If the front cap came completely separated from passengers side of the the main body it could shift and obstruct the drivers ability to see out the front windshield. If it came completely detached it could again obstruct the drivers view and fall on the roadway possibly in the path of either oncoming traffic and/or traffic following vehicle. Pictures of the problem were sent to Jayco with their reply "We do appreciate you taking the time to notify us & your concerns have been documented. This is not anything we have seen on a repetitive basis. Our Compliance Dept. has been made aware & it has been deemed that it is not an issue that would qualify for a Safety Recall." The first symptoms were cracking in the paint and sealant along the vertical seam between truck cab and overhead cap.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
