Recall 02V132000
Visibility › Windshield — Jayco · reported 7 May 2002 · 55 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH AN OPTIONAL CARGO BAY WALL, THE CARGO BAY WALL INCLUDES A LOCKABLE DOOR. IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED AND THERE ARE OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE COMPARTMENT, THERE IS ONLY ONE EXIT, THE EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW.
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, IF THE ONE EGRESS WINDOW WERE INACCESSIBLE, THE OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE. THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW IN PLACE OF THE STANDARD WINDOW. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 22, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-800-825-7876.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
