Defect. Jayco, Inc., (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 and 2011 Greyhawk Class C motorhomes, model year 2008-2011 Melbourne Class C motorhomes, and 2008-2010 Octane Sport Utility travel trailers manufactured from May 21, 2007, through September 10, 2010, equipped with Iota-brand transfer switches. These trailers may have an improper electrical connection at the buss bar on the affected transfer switches. This improper connection may lead to overheating and melting of the transfer switch.

Risk. Overheating and melting of the transfer switch increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transfer switch, free of charge. The recall began on October 10, 2012. Owners may contact Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.

I PURCHASED SIX NEXEN TIRES OVER A YEAR AGO FOR MY JAYHAWK CAMPER. THREE WEEKS AGO I TOOK A TRIP TO ASHVILLE NC AND DURING THE TRIP TWO OF THE BACK TIRES --ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE RV DEVELOPED RIDGES DOWN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE AND CAME APART. I TOOK THE TIRES BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME $75 FOR ONE OF THE TIRES BECAUSE ONE HAD BEEN DRIVEN WHILE FLAT. I ASKED THAT THEY ALL BE REPLACE AS THEY COULD BE DEFECTIVE AND WAS TOLD NO. *TR

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.
