Defect. Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2017 Seismic travel trailers manufactured November 19, 2015, to August 19, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an underrated resettable fuse for the awning with LED lights.

Risk. The incorrect fuse may not properly protect the circuit, allowing an electrical short to occur and increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuse with the correct 1.85 amp hold/3.70 amp trip fuse, free of charge. The recall began on November 3, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901321.

THE LIPPERT 7K LB AXLE GREASE SEALS WERE LEAKING WHEN I DISASSEMBLED THE WHEEL SEALS AND BEARINGS IN ORDER TO REPACK THE BEARINGS. THE OIL SEAL HAD LEAKED WHICH RESULTED IN A COATING OF GREASE ON EVERYTHING INSIDE THE BRAKE DRUM AND BRAKE PADS. I HAVE 10K MILES PULLING THIS TRAILER. THE BRAKE PADS STILL HAVE MUCH PAD LEFT. THE AXLE SPINDLE HOUSING WAS FULL OF GREASE, INDICATING EITHER THE DEALER OR FACTORY USED THE QUICK GREASE ZERK FITTING AND OVERFILLED WITH GREASE WHICH BLEW OUT THE GREASE SEAL. I'VE READ ON JAYCO FORUMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SO I NEVER USED THE QUICK FITTING MYSELF, SINCE I DON'T DRIVE THE AXLE UNDER WATER. OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED OF THIS PROBLEM, SINCE IT COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE.

Reading this record

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.
