Summary

Jayco, Inc. "Jayco" is recalling certain 2018-2020 Melbourne Prestige motorhomes. The liquid propane "LP" tank hangers may be the wrong size and have insufficient welding, allowing the LP tank to dislodge.

Jayco has notified owners, and dealers will install a support bracket on each side of the propane tank, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903501.
