Recall 02V-193: 2000–2002 Jayco 286TS Eagle, 2002 Jayco 28MS Greyhawk
JAYCO, INC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Jul 23, 2002, covering about 258 vehicles.
The problem
On certain mini-motorhomes equipped with a kitchen slide-out, some 120-volt electrical wires underneath the kitchen sink are routed in such a manner that they could make contact with abrasive components, while the slide-out is being operated and chafe the protective covering creating a possible short circuit. In addition, there is an edge on the slide-out floor that could come in contact with 120-volt electrical wires routed down through the main floor also creating a possible short circuit.
The risk
If a short circuit occurs in either situation, the circuit breaker will trip. However, if the breaker fails to trip, arcing from the short circuit could ignite any combustible material or items that may be stored in the kitchen sink cabinet and start a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace any damaged wiring and also install a flexible cord and plastic wiring conduit to protect the 120-volt wiring against chafing. Owner notification began august 7, 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 1-877-825-4782.

Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
