Jayco Greyhawk Motorhome Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Jayco recalled certain 2020 and 2021 Greyhawk motorhomes because the bracket holding the leveling system’s hydraulic pump and reservoir may fail. If it does, those parts could hit the ground. No class action or MDL names the Jayco Greyhawk motorhome. A 2020 federal warranty suit against Jayco closed in December 2020. The verified action is recall 20V-780 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, covering 3,356 motorhomes. Dealers install a new bracket at no charge. Owners can call Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 to ask whether their motorhome falls under the recall.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you own a 2020 or 2021 Greyhawk, Greyhawk Prestige, Redhawk, Redhawk SE, Odyssey or Esteem Class C motorhome. It must have the optional hydraulic leveling system. These vehicles were built from March 23, 2019 to December 8, 2020. The Odyssey and Esteem are Entegra models. Older 2016 to 2018 models fall under recall 20V-405. Owners of 2020 to 2022 Greyhawk models on a Ford chassis fall under recall 24V-245. A legal review of your own facts can show whether you have a claim.

Reported Injuries or Damages

No injury claims are tied to the Greyhawk recalls. The recall record describes a safety risk and lists no injuries. Jayco’s Part 573 report says failure could allow the pump and reservoir to contact the ground. The report names two possible results, a complete separation or hydraulic fluid loss. It adds “the risk of a crash and/or property damage.” Its chronology lists pump failures and no injuries. The report gives the cause as a “Support bracket not adequate for the hydraulic pump and reservoir”. That is the regulator’s hazard wording. It is not an allegation in a court case. For recall 24V-245, the filing says the chassis maker knows of one accident that may be related to the problem and of no injuries.

Recall and Regulatory Background

Recall 20V-780 covers the bracket that holds the leveling pump and reservoir. Recall 20V-405 covers the same support on 2016 to 2018 models. Recall 22V-290 covers a power steering pressure line. Recall 24V-245 covers a power steering line fitting on a different group of vehicles. Canada has a separate recall for the same bracket. A recall does not prove liability, and it does not decide who may bring a claim.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items if your Greyhawk had a leveling system problem, a steering problem or a crash:

• Recall letters and notices from Jayco or a dealer.
• Your VIN and the build date of the motorhome.
• Purchase and service records, repair orders and dealer invoices.
• Photographs of the leveling parts under the motorhome.
• Photographs of hydraulic fluid leaks or any ground damage.
• Any crash report or medical records.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for a motorhome claim come from state law, and they vary with the state where you live and your own situation. The date can also depend on when you discovered the harm and when you learned of the problem with your motorhome. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so ask a lawyer to check the one that applies to you.
