What's wrong?
The power converter in a 2012 Jayco Jay Flight or Eagle Super Lite travel trailer changes incoming power into the type of electrical output the trailer uses for equipment and battery charging. An input coil is part of that converter. It helps control current as power enters the unit, so the converter does not build up excess heat.
On the recalled trailers, Jayco says the power converters were built with an input coil that is too small for the job. While the converter is supplying power, that undersized coil can overheat. The heat can lead to smoking and melting inside the converter, which is why this is an electrical equipment recall.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell hot electrical material or see smoke near the converter, treat that as an active overheating condition, stop using the trailer power system, and arrange the recall repair.
