Jayco, Inc.: Visibility › Windshield
Jayco, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on May 7, 2002 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 55. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH AN OPTIONAL CARGO BAY WALL, THE CARGO BAY WALL INCLUDES A LOCKABLE DOOR. IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED AND THERE ARE OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE COMPARTMENT, THERE IS ONLY ONE EXIT, THE EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW.
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, IF THE ONE EGRESS WINDOW WERE INACCESSIBLE, THE OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD WINDOW. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 22, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-825-7876.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 02V132000.
