What is wrong
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2026 Seismic fifth toy haulers. The inverter may have been installed without a grounding connection.
The risk
The electrical system may overheat without a ground, increasing the risk of a fire. There is also an increased risk of injury from electrical shock.
Why equipment defects matter: The risk depends on the part — a gas leak is a fire risk, while a lift or ramp failure can injure the person using it.
The remedy
Dealers will install a ground wire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 10, 2026. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901660.
About the equipment

Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
