The problem
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Eagle, Eagle HT, Jayflight, Jayflight SLX, North point, Pinnacle, and Seismic travel trailers. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.
The risk
An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and repair, or if necessary, replace awning fabric, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 31, 2022. Owners may contact Jayco's customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901578.
