NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 13V514000.
Defect description
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2014 Jay Flight and Jay Flight Swift Travel Trailers manufactured July 8, 2013, through August 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, an improper amount of insulation may be stripped from the 110V AC water heater ignition wires resulting in a poor connection of the wires.
Safety consequence
A poor wiring connection could increase the wiring's resistance, causing excessive heat, resulting in an increased risk of fire.
Manufacturer remedy
