Jayco Travel Trailer Octane Recall 16V671: Wrong tire pressure label may lead to tire failure

NHTSA campaign 16V671, reported September 16, 2016, 30 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017 Jayco Octane Super Lite travel trailers built in June 2016 have labels with incorrect tire load range and tire pressure information. The labels do not meet federal tire selection requirements.

If owners follow the wrong tire pressure on the label, the tires may be over-inflated. Over-inflated tires can fail suddenly, which increases the risk of a crash.

Jayco is notifying owners and will provide a replacement label with the correct tire information at no charge. Owners can contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 and reference recall number 9901320. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
