15V848000 · Seat Belts
Reported: 2015-12-17 (December 17, 2015) · Model years: 2016
Jayco Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016 Alante motorhomes manufactured November 3, 2015, to November 23, 2015. The affected vehicles have forward and rearward facing dinette seats whose seat belts may not have the proper plate to anchor the seat belt brackets. This can allow the seat belt end to detach from the vehicle in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Consequence: A seat belt that is not properly anchored to the vehicle may not restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct seat belt bracket backer plate, free of charge. The recall began on February 11, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903273.

THIS JAYCO MOTOR HOME HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL DEFECTS. WE ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IT TO BE A FIRE HAZARD, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR CAMPING IN IT.

I WAS INSTRUCTED TO REPLACE A 30 AMP FUSE, WHICH I DID MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE COURSE OF OUR TRIP. FINALLY, WHEN IT ARCED DURING A CHANGE, WE CALLED TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT. HE REPLACED IT AND LEFT EXTRA FUSES FOR THE NEXT FAILURE. I HAVE THE BURNED FUSE THAT CAUS…

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A REPRESENTATIVE, JAKE, STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 400.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
