THE FRAME APPEARS TO BE BENDING JUST AFT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DROPPING THE REAR OF THE MOTORHOME AND CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COACH AT THE SPOT OF THE BEND. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO JAYCO HAVE BEEN MADE. JAYCO MODIFIED THE FRAME ON THIS E450 BY ADDING A SECTION INTO THE FRAME. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME AND WAS NOTICED IN THE FRST 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I BOUGHT THIS COACH NEW. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND THE INSPECION ONLY REVEALED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, WITH NO FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM. THERE HASVE BEEN NO INCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. PICTURE #1 IS A VIEW OF THE FLOOR THAT SHOS IT IS BOWING. #2 SHOWS HOW THE CABINET AT FLOOR LEVEL HAS BROKEN AND OPENED UP. PICTURE #3 SHOWS THE FIRST PROBLEM EXPERIENCED WITH THIS RIG, WHERRE THE AFTER SECTION OF THE OVERLOAD SPRINGS WERE CATCHING ON THE FRAME. THIS WAS FIXED BY REMOVING A SECTION OF THE SPRING.
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
