Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2016 Jayco Precept Motorhome in Canada.
On certain motorhomes, the hydraulic lines for the levelling system may be routed too close to the exhaust system. This could cause them to overheat and melt. If this happens, hydraulic oil could leak onto the exhaust system. Additionally, a heat shield was not installed over the exhaust system.
An oil leak onto a hot exhaust system could cause a fire.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the hydraulic lines for the levelling system. The lines will be rerouted as necessary and a heat shield will be installed.
On certain motorhomes, the dash blower motor does not have proper fuse protection. As a result, an electrical overload or short circuit could cause the wiring to overheat.
Wiring that overheats could create a risk of a fire.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealer to install a fuse for the dash blower. A 25 ampere fuse will be installed in position 23 in the power distribution box. Dealers will also install a label in the fuse box noting "Fuse Position 23 Max. 25 A".
On certain motorhomes, the wiring for the entrance step may have been installed incorrectly and it is possible that the step could retract on its own. If the step were to retract, an occupant exiting the motorhome could fall, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the entrance step for correct wiring. If the wiring is found under the door threshold, it will be removed and the step will be rewired with improved wiring routing.

On certain motorhomes, the driver and front passenger seat base nuts could loosen over time due to the seat(s) swivelling. This could cause the seat(s) to detach from the seat base, which if the vehicle were in motion, could result in the operator potentially losing control of the motorhome, which could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a jam nut to the top of the seat base nut on each affected seat and ensure they are properly torqued.
