NHTSA recall 17V440000
Equipment · Jayco, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Jay Flight SLX travel trailers equipped with the Rocky mountain package option. The cargo carrying capacity (ccc) labels on the affected vehicles did not include the weight of the water tank and water when calculating the ccc, therefore, the ccc is overstated beyond the 1% variance allowed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor…
Why it matters: Without an accurate ccc, the trailer may be overloaded, affecting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Jayco has notified owners and will provide them with corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began on July 20, 2017.
