What's wrong?
The LED ceiling lights in these 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer models are the small interior light fixtures mounted in the trailer ceiling. They are supposed to provide cabin lighting while keeping their electrical circuitry and surrounding trim within a safe operating temperature. This recall covers Jay Feather, Jay Feather 7, Hummingbird, Jay Flight, White Hawk, Jay Flight Bungalow, and Jay Flight Slx travel trailers.
On affected trailers, the circuitry inside a specific LED ceiling light sent too much power through components that did not have a heat management design. Jayco testing found the lights reached temperatures above 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That excessive heat led to light failures and is the defect Jayco identified for campaign 17V290.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on smell, flickering, or visible damage as advance notice that the light is about to overheat.
Who's affected?
Covers seven 2017 travel trailer model lines tied to the same interior lighting component.

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?
Excess heat from the LED ceiling lights creates a fire risk inside the trailer. Because the issue involves interior lighting, schedule the dealer replacement soon and limit use of the affected lights until they are replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer.

- Bring the recall notice if Jayco mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V290 and Jayco recall 9901349 when you call.
