EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:120/240 VAC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INVERTER
- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2026 Heartland Cyclone travel trailers and Cyclone fifth wheel trailers. The inverter may have been installed without a grounding connection.
- What it can cause
- The electrical system may overheat without a ground, increasing the risk of a fire. There is also an increased risk of injury from electrical shock.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a ground wire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 10, 2026. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9905661.
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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 182 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% 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 one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Heartland vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 50 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V675000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 July 2, 2026 as campaign 26V427000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
