Jayco is recalling 17 model year 2017 Precept motorhomes.
The brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Units (HECU) on these vehicles may be missing valve block ball plugs, potentially causing a brake fluid leak or air ingestion during electronic brake distribution and/or ABS activation.
A brake fluid leak or air ingestion can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Jayco will notify owners, and Ford dealers will inspect the hydraulic block and replace the HECU if the ball plugs are present, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin March 30, 2018.
Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137.
