What's wrong?
The instrument cluster in these 2019-2021 Jayco Class A motorhomes is the driver display for speed, warning indicators, and gauge readings. It gives the driver basic operating information while the motorhome is moving, including telltales and gauges that help confirm what the vehicle systems are doing.
On affected Embark, Anthem, Aspire, Cornerstone, Reatta Xl, and Reatta motorhomes, heat builds around the cluster control module. The defrost and defog ducts are routed close to the module, and when that ductwork is not fully attached to the louvers, the area gets hotter than the module's programmed temperature setting. When the module overheats, the instrument cluster can intermittently go blank while the motorhome is in motion.
Before the display goes blank, gauge data or indicator lights can lag or update slowly. That delayed information is the warning sign to take seriously.

What's the safety risk?
A blank instrument cluster can hide speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash. Delayed gauge data or slow indicator updates are warning signs before the display goes blank. If the display blanks while moving, pull over when safe and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019-2021 Jayco Embark, Anthem, Aspire, Cornerstone, Reatta Xl, or Reatta motorhome is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jayco dealer to schedule the free control-module software update and duct-work rerouting that fixes the blank instrument-cluster display.
- Bring the recall notice if Jayco mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V769 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. If the instrument cluster goes blank, pull over safely when traffic allows.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco technician updates the control module software, then reroutes and secures the duct work covered by the recall. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Jayco says units repaired before the recall launched are handled under its recall reimbursement plan. If you already paid for an instrument cluster or duct work repair tied to this issue, keep your repair paperwork and ask Jayco customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit it.
