What's wrong?
The dash blower motor circuit on 2014-2019 Jayco Alante, Precept, and Precept Prestige motorhomes powers the fan that moves air through the heating and air conditioning vents. That circuit is supposed to be protected by a 25 amp fuse, which opens the circuit when electrical current gets too high and keeps the wiring from carrying more load than it was designed to handle.
On affected motorhomes, the wiring print did not show the required fuse for this circuit. During production, the coach floor damaged the dash blower motor and stopped it from rotating. When power was applied later on the assembly line, the stalled motor drew heat into wiring that was not protected as specified. That overheating is the defect Jayco is correcting.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, smell, or feel a clear signal before the blower motor wiring overheats.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Overheated wiring in this circuit can increase the risk of fire. Because the recall repair adds a 25amp fuse, schedule the dealer visit soon and avoid delaying the fix after confirming your VIN is included. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2019 Jayco Alante, Precept, or Precept Prestige is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jayco dealer to schedule the free 25amp fuse installation that protects the blower motor wiring from overheating.
- Bring the recall notice if Jayco has mailed one, and reference recall number 19V270 when you call.
- Call Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 with questions, and reference Jayco recall 9903432.
- Keep the repair appointment even if the blower motor works normally; the missing fuse affects wiring protection.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco technician installs the missing 25 amp fuse in the blower motor electrical circuit. That fuse helps protect the circuit from overheating, and the recall repair is free. Parts and labor are covered under campaign 19V270. If you already paid for a related blower motor circuit repair before the recall notice, ask Jayco customer service about reimbursement under the general reimbursement plan on file. Keep the repair invoice and proof of payment with your claim paperwork.
