- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Seneca Class C motorhomes. The mounting brackets for the leveling system hydraulic pump and reservoir may fail, allowing the components to contact the ground.
- What it can cause
- Contact with the ground may cause the pump and reservoir to detach or leak hydraulic fluids, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install an updated support bracket. The recall began February 12, 2021. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903529.
- 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 1,705 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 72 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V780000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V121000 (tires), 20V337000 (visibility).
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 December 17, 2020 as campaign 20V796000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
