Plain-English summary
Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 recreational vehicles—specifically the Alante, Vision, Vision XL, Precept, Precept Prestige models, and the Entegra Emblem—that are equipped with a Power Bedlift System. Approximately 165 vehicles are affected.
The bedlift motor may fail due to internal gear failure. When this occurs, the overhead bunk bed can release from its stowed position. If the bed releases while the vehicle is moving, it could strike the driver or block their line of sight, increasing the risk of a crash and potential injury.
