How this defect works
A simplified drawing of the part, following the words of NHTSA's record. It shows how the defect is described, not an event.
What the notice says to do (the remedy, in its words)
“Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2027 Jayco Eagle, Eagle SLE, and Heartland Sundance fifth wheel trailers. The auto leveling jacks may be lowered during transit.” “Activation of the jacks during transit increases the risk of a crash.”HEARTLAND, JAYCO FIFTH WHEEL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING recall, NHTSA recall record, 2026-08-06. The caption and the remedy steps are the record's own words.
A generic drawing of the kind of part, not the part itself. The failure mark follows the record's verb; the phrases on the right are the record's own words. The test dummy stands for the risk the notice names (“risk of a crash”); it is not a record of something that happened.
If the drawing and the record's words differ, the words govern. A drawing is chosen by rules and an AI reading of the record and can miss what it means; report one with the form below.
