What's wrong?
The rear brake caliper attachment bolts on the 2023-2024 Jayco Alante, Vision Xl, Vision, Emblem, Precept, and Precept Prestige motorhomes hold the rear brake caliper in place on the Ford F-53 chassis. The caliper is the brake part that clamps the brake pads against the rotor when you press the pedal. Those bolts have to stay tight so the caliper stays aligned and the brake line is protected.
On affected motorhomes, the socket used during Ford chassis assembly wore down over time. That worn tool did not apply the correct torque to some rear caliper bolts, so the bolts were left too loose. As the motorhome is driven, a loose bolt can let the caliper move, which can damage the wheel or brake lines.
The warning sign listed for this recall is a noise, bang, or clunk from the rear axle if caliper bolts start working loose. Treat that sound as a reason to stop and contact a Jayco dealer before driving farther.

The year, make, 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?
A damaged wheel can lead to tire-pressure loss. A damaged brake line can leak brake fluid and reduce braking performance. Either problem increases crash risk. If you hear a rear-axle noise, bang, or clunk, slow down, limit driving, and call the dealer for guidance. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Jayco or Entegra Alante, Vision Xl, Vision, Emblem, Precept, or Precept Prestige motorhome is included in this recall.
- Contact Jayco customer service or a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free rear brake caliper bolt inspection.
- Schedule the caliper bolt tightening or bolt replacement that secures the loose rear brake caliper and protects the wheel and brake lines.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it. If not, reference recall number 23V318 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and stop driving if you notice brake fluid loss, brake warning lights, or reduced braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco technician inspects the rear brake caliper attachment bolts and tightens them where needed. Any damaged bolts are replaced as part of the recall. The inspection, tightening, replacement parts, and labor are free of charge. Ford's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible owner paid repairs completed before the recall notice, with reimbursement eligibility ending April 14, 2023. If you already paid for related rear caliper bolt or brake line damage repairs, bring your repair order, payment receipt, and any related paperwork to the service desk.
