- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Jayco Precept motorhomes. The heat shield beneath the storage compartment may not be long enough, which can allow the heat from the exhaust system to melt the storage compartment.
- What it can cause
- A storage compartment that melts can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will extend the heat shield, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2022. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267.
- 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.nhtsa.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 332 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 81 times before this, most recently in February 2022 as 22V054000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 15 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V217000 (suspension), 23V102000 (equipment), 21V204000 (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 May 4, 2022 as campaign 22V297000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
