2003–2005 Jayco Eagle & 2003–2005 Jayco Escapade + 4 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that CAN smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition, combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
💥 The risk
These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
🔧 The fix
Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
