2 complaints about the 2015 Jayco Redhawk
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Since the purchase of this class c rv I have noticed cracks forming on three occasions on the outside fiberglass of the over cab area. The cracks formed on top close to the edge of the cab on both sides around halfway from the roof line and the curved area. Instead of some random fiberglass cracks this cracks appear to me more of a stress related problem or some type of structural defect in design as they appeared directly across from each other on both sides of the cab and re-appear after repairs. The first cracks...

were noted in feb 2015 on the driver side. The second set were noted in mar 2015 on the passenger side. The latest cracks were noted in dec 2015 and are located near the same area as the ones noticed in feb 2015. This cracks were found during vehicle inspection prior to use.
The srs warning light remained on constantly. Had it repaired at 4984 miles. Ford repair facility found chaffed/frayed wiring where unprotected wires were routed by the coach manufacturer through or near an aluminum panel to the left of the drivers seat . Repair report and photo are available. This caused the failure of the srs. No injury or accident occurred but the possibility of fire and no airbag in a crash could have resulted. *Tr
