2020 JAYCO MELBOURNE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Entegra Launch, Qwest, Jayco Melbourne, and Melbourne Prestige motorhomes. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) blower motor circuit may be inadequate, which can allow the wiring harness to overheat.

Risk: A wiring harness that overheats increases the risk of a fire.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:PARK PAWL

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Entegra Launch, Launch LE, Qwest, Jayco Melbourne, Melbourne Prestige, Terrain, and Terrain LE motorhomes. The guide bushing on the parking pawl may fatigue, which can cause the parking pawl not to engage and result in a vehicle rollaway.

Risk: Vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Melbourne and Melbourne Prestige motorhomes. The instrument cluster may fail to display any information when the vehicle is started.

Risk: A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed, fuel gauge, warning messages, and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Jayco Melbourne, Melbourne Prestige and Entegra Qwest motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with swivel seats. The wiring harnesses for the front seats may have been routed incorrectly and could become jammed and damaged in the swivel seat frames.

Risk: If the wiring harness is damaged, the side air bag within the seat may deploy unexpectedly or not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Entegra Qwest and 2019-2021 Jayco Melbourne and Melbourne Prestige Class C motorhomes built on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The Operator's Manual may not contain the correct information about how the automatic parking function ("Auto-P") operates.

Risk: If the driver relies on the Auto-P function as described in the Operator's Manual, vehicle rollaway or movement may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Entegra Qwest and Jayco Melbourne and Melbourne Prestige motorhomes built on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid.

Risk: Loss of brake fluid can extend the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Lippert Schwintek slide system has failed on our 2020 Jayco Melbourne 24L at least five times (and been repaired 4 times - about to be 5 times) since it was purchased on 9/18/2023. When the slide fails, it is not locked into place and will extend out of the perimeter of the RV when driving around a corner or curve. This results in danger to us as it can cause us to lose control of the RV if it slides too far out while navigating a curve. We have had to stop on a busy interstate to push the slide back in! So far, only one of the slide corners has failed. If both fail, the entire slide will go out and will result in a catastrophic incident. When the slide mechanism fails, it makes a loud "pop". There is no other warning or indication that it is about to fail. The failure happens at the end of the cycle of either retracting or extending the slide. The slide has been inspected, worked on and repaired by certified RV Technicians and a certified RV repair service center. Both RV Technicians and the service center have confirmed the slide failure. There are many, many other owners who have the same slide failure and eventually give up and have it replaced spending thousands of dollars for an upgraded system. The Lippert Schwintek system is NOT sufficient for a slide of this size, hence the repeated failures, according to the RV Technicians and service center.
