What's wrong?
The recalled equipment is the electric fireplace setup installed in certain 2004-2005 Jayco Designer and Legacy fifth wheel trailers. The Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame fireplace, stove, or fireplace insert uses a plug in remote control receiver. That receiver lets the handheld remote switch the fireplace equipment on and off while power still comes through the trailer's electrical outlet.
The problem is inside that plug in receiver. It can overheat while connected to the fireplace equipment, even though its normal job is only to pass power and respond to the remote signal. The filing does not identify a separate part difference or a detailed root cause, so the key defect for an owner is the receiver overheating, not the fireplace trim or the trailer body.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on normal fireplace operation, remote response, or the absence of visible damage as proof that the receiver is safe.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An overheated fireplace receiver can start a fire. If your VIN is included, avoid using the affected receiver, keep anything combustible away from that area, and arrange the recall service promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2004-2005 Jayco Designer or Legacy trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Dimplex customer service at 1-888-346-7539 about the free replacement plug-in remote control kit.
- Reference recall number 10V424 when you call, and tell them the Jayco trailer has a Dimplex Electraflame, Symphony, or Optiflame electric fireplace.
- Stop using the fireplace remote receiver until the replacement kit is installed.
- Install the free plug-in remote control kit that fixes the overheating receiver and reduces the fire risk.
What happens at the repair
Jayco is working with Dimplex to provide a free replacement plug-in remote control kit for the affected electric fireplace equipment. Before scheduling service, confirm that the replacement kit is ready for your VIN. Once available, a Jayco technician replaces the original plug-in remote control receiver with the new kit, free under the recall. The safety recall began on January 28, 2011. The filing does not give a separate reimbursement process, so this section does not add one.
