What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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.

The risk

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

The remedy

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. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for the recall is 9901347.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
