2010 Jayco Insignia Recall 10V048: Brake Pedal Pin

Recall 10V048 covers 2 2010 Jayco Insignia motor homes for a brake pedal pin defect. Dealer inspection and C-clamp repair are free.

Jayco is recalling 2 2010 Insignia motor homes under recall 10V048 because the adjustable brake pedal drive pin can disengage. That failure can reduce braking or move the brake pedal into the throttle pedal's path, which raises crash risk; the Jayco dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The adjustable brake pedal assembly in the 2010 Jayco Insignia lets the driver set the brake pedal position while keeping the pedal arm connected to the rest of the brake linkage. A drive pin is the small securing part that holds the brake pedal arm in place. When you press the brake pedal, that linkage has to stay aligned so pedal force reaches the braking system.

On affected Insignia motor homes, that drive pin can become disengaged from the pedal assembly. If the pin comes loose, the brake pedal arm no longer stays where it belongs. Braking is reduced, and the loose or shifted pedal can move into the throttle pedal area and interfere with throttle pedal function.

There is no warning sign before failure. If the brake pedal shifts out of position or the throttle pedal does not respond normally, treat that as a sign the assembly has already moved and arrange dealer service.

Not every 2010 Jayco Insignia is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.

What's the safety risk?

Reduced braking or interference with the throttle pedal can make the 2010 Jayco Insignia harder to stop or control and can result in a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule dealer service soon and ask about the brake pedal inspection and C-clamp installation. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Jayco Insignia is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 to confirm the brake-pedal kit status for your VIN.
  3. Ask a franchised Jayco dealer about the free adjustable-brake-pedal inspection and C-clamp installation that secures the pedal arm.
  4. Reference recall number 10V048 when you call the dealer or Jayco customer service.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.

What happens at the repair

Once Jayco makes the dealer remedy available, a Jayco technician will inspect the adjustable brake pedal assembly and install a C clamp on the adjustable brake pedal. Parts and labor will be covered under the recall. The source remedy says affected units were in dealer stock and none had been retail sold, so customer owner letters were not planned. If your VIN is included now, ask a Jayco dealer to confirm the campaign and complete the brake pedal inspection and clamp installation before regular use.
