Hi there - I subscribe to the recall website and this arrived in my inbox this morning. As many of you have Jayco vans, some of you may be affected by this one if you have not already been advised direct. Copy of the recall notice below - you can actually go to the Recall website for copies of all the information if you wish. The idendification for the models is the chassis number. For your info, the recall website if you are not aware is below ..... just put the dots back in where I have removed ...... never comfortable posting websites.
PRA number: 2014/14003 Date published: 25th February 2014
Product information
Product description
Selected Jayco Caravans
Identifying features
Selected Chassis Numbers between P70038 & R72141
What are the defects?
Six Jayco caravans will require a heavier duty jack to be supplied as the current jacks do not meet requirements. In addition, 126 vans require a new safety sticker be fitted to the jack.
What are the hazards?
Should the jack supplied be used it may not withstand the weight of the van and collapse.
The owners of the 126 vans that require a sticker replaced will be sent new stickers in the mail or they can book in at the nearest Jayco Dealer or Service Agent to have the sticker replaced.
The remaining 6 vans that require a new Jack, the customers will be called directly and a new jack will be sent to the home address and the customer is requested to remove the old jack from the van and dispose of it.
For further information contact your local Jayco dealer.

When we had our first Jayco Stirling 24" shake down trip a couple of weeks ago I needed to jack up one side of the van because I picked a not so level spot!!!!. I got the jack from the van front boot and began winding. WOW!!! it was an enormous amount of work and I did not feel secure. I checked on the Pajero hydraulic jack and used that. I felt much happier. I felt I would not like to have to use the van jack to remove a wheel.
