WITH LESS THAN 4500 MILES THE REAR AXLE FAILED, CAUSING SEVERE WEAR ON THE TIRE. WHEN RESEARCHING, THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO AXLE FAILURE. DEXTER REPLACED THE AXLE, BUT JAYCO WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, AND ADVISED I TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST JAYCO DEALERSHIP (72 MILES AWAY) USING THE SPARE. DURING THAT SHORT DRIVE TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE, THE SPARE SHOWED SEVERE WEAR ALSO.

20V336000 · Visibility:Glass, Side/Rear
Reported: 2020-06-09 (June 9, 2020)
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020 Towable Eagle, Eagle HT, JayFlight, NorthPoint, Octane, Pinnacle, Seismic, and Talon recreational vehicles. The adhesive bond between the glass and the metal hinge frame of the frameless crank out vent and egress windows may fail which would then allow the glass to detach and fall out.
Consequence: If the window glass detaches while the vehicle is moving it could become a projectile, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the frameless windows for proper adhesive bond strength, replacing the windows as necessary, free of charge. This recall began June 15, 2020. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901508.
