- The problem
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

- The risk

- The problem
- Certain motor homes built on ford chassis may experience stalling without warning while driving and may or may not restart.
- The risk
- Should the engine stall, a vehicle crash could occur.
- The fix
- Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will upgrade the fuel injection control module (ficm) wire harness or replaced, and/or have a new injection control pressure (icp)) sensor connector installed free of charge. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
- The problem
- On certain motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition, combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
- The risk
- These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
- The fix

- The fix
- Dealers will remove the brake hose p-clamp and replace the metal brake line elbows free of charge. The recall began on february 14, 2006. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
