408 units affected
Issue: On certain travel trailers equipped with a Dometic propane gas stove, there could be an odour of propane gas after a short period of use. If a user attempts to tighten the bolt for the stove's valve in order to stop the smell, they could over-tighten the bolt and cause damage to a seal. This can result in a constant gas leak. Safety Risk: A propane gas leak could create the risk of a fire or explosion. Corrective Action: Jayco will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your trailer to a dealer to replace the defective hardware and perform a leak test. To reduce the safety risk, Jayco recommends that you should not use the propane system or any propane appliance in the trailer until the recall repairs have been completed.

210 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the LED ceiling lights produce extreme high temperatures during normal use which could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the LED ceiling lights.
- Accessories#2016581
11 units affected
On certain travel trailers manufactured with a Christianson Industries exterior foldable ladder, the ladder's mounting bracket could separate from the hinge due to an incorrect weld. This could result in the ladder separating from the vehicle, which if an individual were to be utilizing the ladder, it could lead to an increased risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a hinge brace over the back of the existing hinges to secure the hinge and mounting bracket.
- Label#2016091
378 units affected
On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers, the certification label may not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). During manufacturing, the data used for calculating the weight of the trailer may have been incorrect. This could lead to vehicle overloading, potentially resulting in tire failure and/or causing damage to the trailer and affecting vehicle handling, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation. Alternatively, owners can visit a Highland Dealer to have the new certification label applied. For the Toy Hauler model, dealers will install new axles and tires with a greater load capacity, as well as new labels.
- Other#2016056
47 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the safety chains on the A frame may be an incorrect size. The units require safety chains rated for 16,200 lbs, but were incorrectly outfitted with safety chains rated for 11,700 lbs. This could possibly result in the weight of the travel trailer breaking the weaker chains, which could allow the trailer to separate from the towing vehicle, possibly striking another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will remove the incorrect safety chains and replace them with the correct 16,200 lbs safety chains.
- Label#2016004
18 units affected
On certain travel trailers, a CAUTION label informing owners not to leave the drain valve open to prevent an escape of sewer gas was omitted during production. If the drain valve is left open, it could result in sewer gas potentially filling the recreational vehicle, which would increase the risk of asphyxiation to occupants. Correction: Highland Ridge RV will send a CAUTION label to current owners with instructions for proper placement. If owners are not comfortable installing the label themselves, they can take the label to a Highland Ridge RV dealer for installation.
