What's wrong?
The metal receptacle box in a 2022 Jayco Fifth Wheel Eagle is the enclosure that holds an electrical outlet and its wiring. In a metal box, the ground connection gives stray electrical current a path back through the electrical system instead of through the box surface.
On affected trailers, Jayco used a metallic electrical box as a substitute for the non-metallic box during a supplier shortage. The metal box was installed without the required ground, which Jayco described as an operations assembly error. A non-metallic box does not conduct electricity the same way, so that grounding requirement did not apply to the original part.
The recalled box is different because it lacks proper grounding with a listed green ground screw or grounding clip. There is no warning sign before failure.

What's the safety risk?
An ungrounded metallic electrical box can shock someone who touches it and increases the risk of injury. Until the grounding repair is complete, avoid opening or working around that electrical box and schedule the recall service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco Fifth Wheel dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Jayco Fifth Wheel Eagle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jayco Fifth Wheel dealer to schedule the free grounding repair that adds a bare copper grounding conductor to the ungrounded metallic electrical box.
- Bring the recall notice if Jayco mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V054 and Jayco recall 9901574 when you call.
- Avoid touching the metallic electrical box or working on the trailer's electrical system until the grounding repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco Fifth Wheel technician installs a bare copper grounding conductor to the metallic electrical box. That grounding conductor gives the metal box a proper path to ground. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. If you've already paid for this grounding repair before the recall, Jayco's recall reimbursement plan covers eligible prior repairs. Bring repair paperwork and payment records to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.
