Recall 13V070 covers 66 2013 Jayco travel trailers and fifth-wheels for power converters that can short circuit. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco dealer.

Jayco is recalling 66 2013 Jay Flight Bungalow, Eagle, Jay Flight Destination, Eagle Premier, and Jay Flight trailers and fifth-wheels because the Progressive Dynamics power converter has internal components that can short circuit. An electrical short can lead to a vehicle fire, and the dealer repair will be free once Jayco makes it available.

What's wrong?

The power converter in these 2013 Jayco travel trailers and fifth-wheels changes A/C power into the lower-voltage power used by RV equipment and battery charging. It sits inside the electrical system and keeps shore power from feeding the wrong kind of current to the trailer's equipment. When it works correctly, the converter manages that change without overheating or shorting internally.

On affected Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow, Jay Flight Destination, Jay Flight, Eagle, and Eagle Premier units, internal parts in the converter are defective. Those parts can short circuit inside the converter. A short circuit means electrical current takes an unintended path, which turns the converter itself into the failure point instead of a controlled power supply.

There is no warning sign before failure. The converter is inside the electrical equipment, so an owner should not expect a dash light, exterior damage, or a visible change before the internal short happens.

Who's affected?

Jay Flight, Jay Flight Bungalow, Jay Flight Destination, Eagle, and Eagle Premier are the model lines named for this same model year.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

An electrical short can lead to a vehicle fire. Until your VIN is checked and the converter repair is complete, avoid using the affected power converter and schedule service with a Jayco dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Jayco Jay Flight Bungalow, Eagle, Jay Flight Destination, Eagle Premier, or Jay Flight is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Jayco dealer after your VIN is confirmed and ask about the free power-converter modification.
  3. Reference recall number 13V070 when you call, and bring the owner notice if Jayco mailed one to you.
  4. Keep the trailer away from shore power until the affected converter is modified, since an electrical short can start a vehicle fire.

What happens at the repair

Jayco's remedy calls for dealers to modify the affected power converters at no charge. The converter changes A/C power for use in the trailer, and the recall repair addresses internal components that can short circuit. The current remedy status is not listed as available in this input, so confirm the appointment with a Jayco dealer before bringing the trailer in. Once the dealer repair is available, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
