⚠️ What's wrong
Jayco is recalling 1,673 my 2005-2008 Seneca motor homes. An electrical short CAN occur if the battery cables were not tucked into the compartment in a manner that does not allow the cables to be pinched between the battery slide tray and the compartment door.
💥 The risk
If this condition is not addressed, it may result in a fire, injury or death.

Dealers will relocate the battery cables to the rear battery and reposition a clamp to prevent pinching. The recall began on may 26, 2008. Owners may contact jayco at 1-574-825-5861.
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.)
