Jayco, Inc.: Fuel System, Gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
Jayco, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Feb 21, 2003 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 4. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT ON GM GMT610 RV CHASSIS, DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THESE CHASSIS, INCREASED PRESSURE RESULTS IN THE FUEL RETURN LINE. THE FUEL RETURN LINE IS USED TO PROVIDE A FUEL TAP FOR GENERATORS AND AUXILIARY ENGINES.
The risk
OPERATING THE GENERATOR WHILE THE VEHICLE ENGINE IS RUNNING WILL STALL THE GENERATOR DUE TO OVERFUELING. STARTING, PRIMING OR OPERATING THE GENERATOR WITH THE VEHICLE ENGINE RUNNING COULD RESULT IN FUEL OVERFLOWING THE CARBURETOR, FLOODING THE GENERATOR ENGINE AND SPILLING FUEL INTO THE GENERATOR COMPARTMENT AND ON THE GROUND.
The remedy
GM/ONAN ADVISED JAYCO TO STOP DELIVERY OF THESE UNITS UNTIL A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS DEVELOPED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. 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 1-574-825-0653.

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 03V057000.
