The 2015 JAYCO PRECEPT has 1 complaint and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to the windshield wipers. A specific complaint noted the failure of the wiper relay module and the lack of available replacement parts, which compromises safety in rainy conditions.
Common Issues- Wiper failure. The wiper relay module fails, resulting in non-functioning wipers. Replacement parts are unavailable from the manufacturer, and repairs require aftermarket modifications that dealers refuse to perform, creating unsafe driving conditions in rain.

2015 JAYCO PRECEPT
ID: 2093805VISIBILITY/WIPER
Wipers not working and no replacement part made anymore. My wiper relay module went bad and the wipers are not working. I contacted Jayco and was told to order a aftermarket harness and modify it. No servicing dealer will do this for me, making the rv a unsafe to drive in rain conditions. This is a big issue that I can't imagine I'm the only one with this issue. They had a recall on later models for a similar issue.
