2013 Jayco Seismic recalls
Trailer Axles Underrated, Risking Overload and Loss of Control
Certain 2013-2015 Jayco Fifth Wheel Seismic and 2015 Pinnacle trailers were built with 6,000 lb capacity rear axles instead of the 7,000 lb axles the design calls for.
Fire extinguisher may clog or fail to discharge in a fire
Some Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguishers installed in certain recreational trailers can become clogged, so they may not discharge as expected or may require excessive force to activate.
Entry Steps Can Break Loose, Risking a Fall
A rivet securing the quad entry steps on certain Jayco recreational trailers from model years 2013 to 2015 may shear and fail.

What owners report
The contact owns a 2013 Jayco Seismic trailer hauled by a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that the hanger for the springs that hold the axle had fractured without warning. Due to the failure, the axle began to hang from underneath the vehicle. The contact suspected that the failure occurred while towing the trailer; however, he only noticed the failure after parking. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by email and the contact had yet to receive a response. The vehicle had yet to be serviced or diagnosed. The failure mileage was unknown
WE HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INSTANCES WHERE THE LEAF SPRING HANGER HAS COMPLETELY SHEARED OFF. AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER SIMILAR OWNERS, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH LOSING AN AXLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SOME POINT IF LIPPERT COMPONENTS DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW IMMEDIATELY ON PREEXISTING UNITS. I'VE NOTICED ON NEWER MODELS THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED WITH A REDESIGN OF THE LEAF SPRING ATTACHMENT. WE WERE IN MOTION GOING DOWN I-95 AND WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. *DT *DT CONSUMER HAS MADE REPAIRS. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL WELDING/MACHINE SHOP WAS TOLD THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW. CARFAX CANNOT PROCE
