WE HAVE A JAYCO 23B. BOUGHT ON JUNE 14TH. OUR FIRST TRIP WAS JUNE 19TH THROUGH JUNE 21ST. OUR CHILDREN WERE ASLEEP IN THE FRONT BUNK AND, OUR 2 YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY (37LBS) FELL FROM THE BED TO THE GROUND. WE THOUGHT THAT WE MAYBE DIDN'T FASTEN THE SNAPS AND VELCRO PROPERLY. I PLACE MY SON WITH MY WIFE IN THE BACK BUNCK AND I SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE FRONT. A COUPLE HOURS LATER MY DAUGHTER DID THE SAME THING AND FELL TO THE GROUND. SHE HAS BRUISES TO HER RIGHT THIGH, MY LITTLE BOY SEEMS TO BE FINE. WE FELL THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE SNAP AND VELCRO SYSTEM IN THE FRONT OF OUR BUNK IS INADEQUATE. *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.
