What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2027 Heartland Bighorn recreational trailers. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label may be incorrect. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 567, "Certification."

The risk

Referencing the incorrect weight could result in the trailer being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Jayco will mail replacement labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 1, 2026. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901666.

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.
