The problem
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2021 Entegra Aspire, Anthem, Cornerstone, and ReattaXL motorhomes built with Villa power seats. The power seat wiring may become chafed due to poor routing, and no protection, or melt from exceeding the 14 gauge wire amp capacity.
The risk
Damaged power seat wires may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Jayco will notify owners, and the dealers will inspect the seat wiring for loom protection and secure it with wire ties, free of charge. The remedy regarding the switch and exceeding the amp capacity is still under development. The recall began December 4, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903521.
