Visibility: windshieldRecall 02V-132 · Jayco vehicles
JAYCO, INC. recall 02V-132 covers 55 Jayco vehicles for a visibility: windshield problem, reported to NHTSA on May 7, 2002.
Source: NHTSA recall 02V132000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
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).
