What owners report
I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY TRAILER RIM. IT HAS 2 SPIKES THAT ARE CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH. I THEN INSPECTED MY OTHER 3 TIRES AND FOUND 3 OTHER SPIKES ON ANOTHER TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON A SPARE AND DROVE TO A TIRE SHOP TO GET ANOTHER TRAILER WHEEL. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE WHEEL IS HISPEC. THEY ARE LOCATED IN INDIANA NEAR THE RV MANUFACTURERS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THANKFULLY THE WHEELS DIDN'T COME APART WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY FAMILY OF 4.*DT*JB*DT*JB
THE WIRING FOR THE ELECTRIC BRAKES WERE ROUTED OVER AND WRAPPED AROUND THE SPRINGS. THE WIRES WERE WRAPPED TIGHT ENOUGH THAT THERE WAS NO SLACK IN THE WIRING. THIS CONDITION WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE WIRES SHORTING OUT CAUSING A FAILURE IN THE TRAILER'S BRAKING SYSTEM AND POSSIBLY TOW VEHICLE'S BRAKE CONTROLLER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE BUT I'M NOT CONFIDENT THEY UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. I FOUND THIS CONDITION WHILE INSPECTING THE TRAILER FOR OUR FIRST TRIP AND HAD THE WIRING REROUTED. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS ON A LOT OF JAYCO'S PRODUCTS.
