Reported: 2016-05-20 (May 20, 2016)

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2017 Jay Flight trailers manufactured May 6, 2016, to May 9, 2016. The weight ratings on the tire labels are incorrect. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Consequence: Incorrect weight ratings on the tire label could cause the operator to overload the vehicle and lead to premature tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: All affected units are in dealer inventory. Dealers will be provided new, corrected labels. The recall began May 27, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901299.

Reported: 2016-07-27 (July 27, 2016)

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Jay Feather, Jay Flight, Jay Flight SLX, Eagle, White Hawk, and Octane travel trailers manufactured January 5, 2016, to July 18, 2016, equipped with a Sway Command anti-sway system. When connected to certain tow vehicles that have an integrated brake controller, and after the anti-sway system has applied the trailer brakes in response to a sway event, the trailer brakes may no longer function to slow or stop the trailer.

Consequence: A loss of trailer brakes may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will remove the Sway Command system from the affected travel trailers, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901308.

Jayco Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Jay Flight Bungalow, Hummingbird, White Hawk, Jay Flight SLX, Jay Feather 7, Jay Feather and Jay Flight fifth wheel recreational trailers. The LED ceiling lights may produce excessive heat.

Consequence: The excessive heat from the LED ceiling lights may increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy: Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected LED ceiling lights with a different light, free of charge. The recall began on May 24, 2017. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for the recall is 9901349.
