Example complaints

Other or unknown: “This concerns the towing hitch on the Jayco precept. While driving the hitch collapsed and the towing arms started to drag on the ground It tore away where the bends are, that form part of the plate that is bolted onto the precept. This could have resulted in destroying our towed vehicle or if the last inch had separated it would have caused the towed vehicle to no longer be attached to our Jayco. It could have caused serious injury to other vehicles on the road. …”

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “When driving in heavy rain with the wipers on high they will hit each other. Thus, coming lose. It only does it when there is rain and wind while driving even at just 50 MPH. Dealership sprayed hose on it and could not replicate the effect. Well drive it and you will see. Terrible to spend over137k for something I can't drive in a rain storm.”

Electrical system: “Three out of the 5 front LED amber roof clearance lights are inoperable. It appears the LED bulbs fail Normally LED lights have a long life. I do not drive with the lights on often and failure has occurred I have seen other coaches same year with the same issue. I sent Jayco several emails with no response”

NHTSA complaint #11509552, filed 2023-02

Body and structure: “The HLM (out of business) trailer hitch tore at the welds on both sides. Manufacturer states you can tow 5,000 lbs./500 tongue. My trailer fully loaded is 4600/380. I took the RV back to the Jayco Service Center, where I purchased it, to be repaired. I was informed HLM(aka pull rite) was contracted to build the hitch and no longer manufacture it. I was also informed that the hitch is mounted on a frame extension. The Ford Chassis ends just past the axles and the bedroom is built on this frame extension. …”
