Service Brakes
Filed Feb 20, 2023CA

Sudden and permanent brake failure on the electric trailer brakes. Jayco dual axle RV/Camping trailer w/electric brakes (Lippert 3500lb axles) * Electric Brake wires that connect the left and right brakes are run through the axle tubes * The wires are not shielded and can bounce up and down within the axle tubes * Eventually the thin insulation on the wires is denigrated and the the electric brake circuit shorts to ground causing sudden and permanent brake failure with out warning * This situation can have a catastrophic effect on not only the operator of the tow RV but to the motoring public at large * The workmanship of the electric brakes system is "Poor-at-Best" * Connectors are not sealed from the elements and road debris * The Electric Brake wiring is not supported and will eventually ground out * This is not an "IF"...It is a "WHEN" scenario as it occurred on my RV within the first year of ownership. * I recommend that the NTHSA investigate and demand Jayco issue a recall to bypass and relocate the brake wires to outside of the axle tubes and to shield and secure the wires to the top of the axles. * I also recommend that all Brake wiring connections be soldered and sealed

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.
