Reported: 2017-02-02 (February 2, 2017)
Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Seismic and Seismic Wave fifth-wheel recreational trailers equipped with hydraulic brakes. In the affected vehicles, the break away switch may not be properly wired.
Consequence: If the break away switch does not function correctly due to improper wiring and the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle during transit, the fifth wheel brakes will not automatically apply, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will correct the wiring, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2017. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901344.
