EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2021 Vision, Emblem, Vision XL, Alante, Precept, and Precept Prestige recreational vehicles, equipped with a Power Bedlift System. The bedlift motor may fail due to internal gear failure, causing the overhead bunk bed to release from the stowed position.
- What it can cause
- If the bed releases unexpectedly from the stowed position while moving, it could contact the driver and possibly block their vision, increasing the risk of a crash and injury.
- What the dealer does
- Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bed motor, free of charge. The recall began November 18, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903525.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 165 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 14,446 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 490. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 70 times before this, most recently in September 2020 as 20V548000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V217000 (suspension), 22V297000 (equipment), 20V667000 (engine).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jayco, Inc. with NHTSA on October 28, 2020 as campaign 20V662000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
