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.
