The problem

An unsecured propane tank could detach from the trailer and increase the risk of a crash or leak propane and increase the risk of a fire.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the propane tank securing strap with a new strap that has the correct crimping, free of charge. The recall began on July 27, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901385.
