Details

What's wrong: The load range and the cold tire inflation pressure on these trailers are incorrectly identified. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, â“tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.â”

Why it matters: Relying on the a misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will remove and replace the labels with a correct label. The recall will begin in May 2012. Owners should contact jayco at 574-825-0608.
