What's wrong?
The Murphy bed mechanism in these 2026 North Point and Bighorn fifth wheel travel trailers is the hinge and support hardware that holds the bed upright when it is stored. It lets the bed fold down for use and fold back against the wall for floor space. The bed depends on that hardware to stay locked in position until someone intentionally lowers it.
On affected trailers, the mechanism used on the Murphy bed was changed after the design had already been evaluated and approved. Jayco Fifth Wheel identified that design change as a concern because the mechanism can fail. When it fails, the stored bed is no longer held where it belongs and the bed falls unexpectedly.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect noise, looseness, or visible movement to appear first; the concern is the bed dropping without advance notice.
Who's affected?
Covers North Point and Bighorn trailers from the 2026 model year, both using the same Murphy bed mechanism.

What's the safety risk?
A murphy bed that falls raises the risk of injury or death for anyone in its path. There is no warning sign before failure, so keep people clear of the bed until the repair is completed. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco Fifth Wheel dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Jayco Fifth Wheel North Point or Bighorn is included in this recall.
- Contact Jayco Fifth Wheel customer service to confirm repair timing, since the final dealer remedy is still listed as under development.
- Avoid using the murphy bed until the new bed mechanism is installed, because the current mechanism can fail and let the bed fall unexpectedly.
- Keep the owner letter with your trailer records. If you did not receive one, reference recall number 25V675 when you call.
- Schedule the free murphy-bed mechanism replacement with a franchised Jayco Fifth Wheel dealer once Jayco opens the repair.
What happens at the repair
Jayco Fifth Wheel is still developing the dealer remedy, so do not treat the final repair as ready to schedule until Jayco opens it. Once available, a Jayco Fifth Wheel technician will replace the murphy bed mechanism with a newly designed mechanism. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Jayco used its general reimbursement plan on file, so owners who already paid for a related murphy bed mechanism repair can ask Jayco customer service how to submit documentation for reimbursement.
