Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to
notifying Jayco, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA
cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or Jayco, Inc.

Safety in Using LP Gas
You should checkfor leaks at the connections on the LP gas system soon after purchase and initial
filling of LP tanks, and continued periodic checks of the system are recommended. Your vehicle was
manufactured to provide you with full access to all gas line connections. Leaks can be found with a
soapy water solution, which does not contain ammonia or chlorine , applied to the outside of the
gas piping connections: the soap will bubble at the leak. DO NOT USE FLAME OR LIGHTED
MATCHES TO TEST FOR LEAKS . Usually tightening of connections will close leaks. If not,
askan authorized dealer’s service department to make the necessary tests and repairs.
ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE PERFORMED TESTS FOR
LEAKAGE, THIS CHECK IS RECOMMENDED DUE TO THE VIBRATION ENCOUNTERED
DURING TRAVEL.
As LP gas is heavier than air, leaking gas tends to flow to low places which will sometimes pocket in
low areas, such as the motorhome floor. LP gas can usually be detected by an identifiable odor
similar to onions or garlic. Never light a match or allow any open flame in the presence of leaking
gas.
It is very important to have the LP gas turned off during refueling of tow vehicles. Some states
prohibit gas appliances to be operated during travel, especially in underground tunnels.
