INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for the removal modification of the Lower air baffle on affected Jayco and Entegra motorhomes
The complete lower air baffle part or section shown in the Ford bulletin Q-324R1 for removal is the only part of the lower air baffle that Jayco and Entegra motorized divisions install.
Five screws hold this section of the baffle in place but only 2 of the screws are accessible.
Open the hood and remove the 2 screws shown in the picture below.
Tear the material from around the other 3 screws and discard the entire section of the lower air baffle.
Modification is complete.
