Recall history
20 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
06V084000 · Electrical System:Wiring:Interior/Under Dash
Reported: 2006-03-30 (March 30, 2006) · Model years: 2005
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHEVROLET CHASSIS WERE PRODUCED WITH A BODY WIRING HARNESS WITH NO PROTECTIVE CONDUIT IN THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVER'S FEET TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR HARNESS WEAR. THE BODY WIRING HARNESS INCLUDES SDM WIRING THAT COULD BE DAMAGED FROM CHAFING AND WEAR BY THE VEHICLE OPERATORS.
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. A PERSON MAY RECEIVE MINOR INJURIES, SUCH AS ABRASIONS, FROM CONTACT WITH THE BAG.
Remedy: GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET DIVISION IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. CHEVROLET WILL INSPECT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR POTENTIAL DAMAGE, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE HARNESS IF REQUIRED, AND ADD CONDUIT TO ALL HARNESSES. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
NHTSA campaign record ↗07V005000 · Trailer Hitches
Reported: 2007-01-04 (January 4, 2007) · Model years: 2005, 2006, 2007
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR CAP TO THE HITCH RECEIVER ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LONGER BALL MOUNTS AND/OR EXTENSIONS. THE LONGER THE BALL MOUNT AND/OR EXTENSIONS USED, THE GREATER THE FORCES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE FASTENERS THAT ATTACH THE HITCH TO THE MAIN CHASSIS RAILS. THESE INCREASED FORCES EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE FORCES PERMITTED IN THE FASTENERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE FASTENERS MAY STRETCH, LOOSEN, OR BREAK CAUSING AN UNSAFE TOWING CONDITION OR SEPARATION OF THE HITCH FROM THE MOTOR HOME.
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE MOTOR HOME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE WITH HARDWARE OF A HIGHER GRADE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 22, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-283-8267.
