What's wrong: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jay Flight trailers manufactured July 10, 2014, to October 24, 2014. The affected trailers may have been manufactured with cargo carrying capacity labels that overstate the load carrying capacity. Thus these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the federal motor vehicles safety standards no.110, "tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation…

Why it matters: A vehicle operator could inadvertently overload the trailer due to the incorrect information on the label and induce premature tire wear or a tire failure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

The fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began November 18, 2014.
