Details

What's wrong: Jayco Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Designer fifth wheel recreational trailers equipped with the disk brake option. The steel rim of the spare tire may rub against the brake caliper.

Why it matters: The interference may generate enough heat to cause the tire to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spare wheel with an aluminum rim with a new spare, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017.
