Dealers will inspect the rear axle and replace the axle bearings or axle assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 12. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 800-283-8267. Jayco’s number for this recall is Ford 24V-102.

 

High Voltage Battery May Cause Fire
