What's wrong?
On the 2014 Jayco Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift trailers, the affected part is the 110V AC water heater ignition wiring. Those wires carry power through a connector so the water heater ignition circuit can operate when the trailer is connected to AC power. The connection depends on the wire end being stripped to the correct length before it is secured.
On affected trailers, the wrong amount of insulation was removed from those ignition wires. Insulation is the protective covering around the metal conductor, and the stripped section is the bare metal that makes contact inside the connector. When that exposed length is wrong, the connector does not grip or contact the wire correctly, which creates a poor electrical connection at the water heater.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall filing does not identify a dashboard light, sound, smell, or other owner-visible clue before the wiring connection fails.

A matching 2014 Jayco Jay Flight or Jay Flight Swift trailer does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A poor wiring connection raises resistance in the LP/Electric water heater wiring. That excess heat increases the risk of fire. Because the issue is in the heater installation, schedule the dealer inspection and repair soon instead of continuing normal water heater use. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Jayco Jay Flight or Jay Flight Swift is included in this recall.
- Look for Jayco's owner notice, then contact a franchised Jayco dealer about the free repair path for your VIN.
- Ask the dealer for the LP/electric water-heater ignition-wire inspection and repair that corrects poor wiring connections linked to excessive heat.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 13V514 when you call.
- Call Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 with questions before using the trailer's water heater.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco technician inspects the LP/Electric water heater installation, focusing on the ignition wire connection and any insulation stripped from the 110V AC water heater ignition wires. If the installation is wrong, the dealer repairs it as needed. The remedy record says the recall began on December 12, 2013, but the current remedy status is not listed, so confirm service handling with a Jayco dealer before you bring the trailer in. The dealer repair is free once available.
