What’s wrong with it?
Damaged wires may short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Jayco, Inc.
(Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Precept motorhomes manufactured January 3, 2013, to July 14, 2014.
Due to the routing and inadequate protection of the wiring for the driver’s and passenger’s electric seats, the wires may get damaged by the seats moving up and down, and back and forth.
