2018–2020 Jayco Melbourne Prestige recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Melbourne Prestige motorhomes. The liquid propane (LP) tank hangers may be the wrong size and have insufficient welding, allowing the LP tank to dislodge.
💥 The risk
If the LP tank dislodges while the motorhome is in transit, it can increase the risk of a crash with the ignition of the propane.
🔧 The fix
Jayco has notified owners, and dealers will install a support bracket on each side of the propane tank, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903501.
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.)
