Jayco is recalling 2021-2022 Melbourne Prestige motorhomes with a faulty torsion bar assembly that could cause loss of vehicle stability and crash risk. Owners must contact Jayco for free repairs.
An incorrectly assembled torsion bar may fail at the connection between the torsion bar and linkage, resulting in a loss of vehicle stability, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Jayco is recalling certain 2021-2022 Melbourne Prestige motorhomes because a poorly installed shim on the torsion bar could cause loss of vehicle stability and increase crash risk. This is serious enough that owners should have the issue fixed by a dealer before driving.
The shim was incorrectly installed between the nut and torsion bar instead of between the ball stud and torsion bar. This can cause the torsion bar to fail at the connection point, leading to loss of vehicle stability and higher crash risk.
Owners of 2021-2022 Jayco Melbourne Prestige motorhomes are affected. Those who have not yet had the torsion bar shim corrected are most at risk.
Check if your 2021-2022 Jayco Melbourne Prestige motorhome has a shim installed between the nut and torsion bar, not between the ball stud and torsion bar. The recall was announced in September 2022.
