What's wrong?
The roof ladder on the 2015 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight is the fixed ladder mounted to the trailer body for roof access. It is supposed to attach at a reinforced section of the wall, where a backing structure gives the fasteners solid material to hold against.
On the affected trailers, the ladder was installed on the door side of the trailer. That location does not have the reinforcing backer needed to secure the ladder to the trailer body. Without that backing, the ladder fasteners are holding in the wrong structure, so the ladder is not supported the way it was designed to be supported.
There is no warning sign before failure. The ladder can look properly mounted until weight or movement loads the attachment points, so owners should treat the ladder location itself as the defect.
Who's affected?
The listed components trace to trailers built from May 19 to May 21, 2014.

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?
Without the backer behind the ladder, the ladder screws can pull out of the trailer wall while someone is climbing. The ladder can give and injure the person using it. Avoid using the exterior ladder until a dealer inspects the placement and confirms whether a backer is needed. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight is included in this recall.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco Travel Trailer technician will inspect where the roof ladder is mounted. If the ladder is on the door side, the technician will install a reinforcing backer so the ladder is supported where it attaches to the trailer. This work addresses the missing reinforcement behind the incorrect ladder location. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 14V561.
