What's wrong?
The refrigerator in a 2020 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight Slx uses a propane supply hose to feed LP gas to the refrigerator burner. That hose connects inside the refrigerator LP compartment, where the fitting has to stay tight so propane stays inside the line instead of escaping into the compartment.
On affected trailers built at Jayco's Idaho facility, the refrigerator propane hose connection was not tightened correctly during installation. That loose connection lets propane leak at the fitting. Propane in the refrigerator compartment can ignite if it reaches a flame, spark, or hot surface, which is why Jayco tied this defect to fire events reported around that compartment.
There is no warning sign before failure. A propane smell, soot, heat damage, or any sign of fire around the refrigerator area means the trailer needs dealer attention before further use.
