What this recall means for you
The federal certification label on certain 2018 Jayco Eagle travel trailers lists the axle weight rating as 5,800 lbs, but the axles are actually rated for 5,660 lbs. The label also does not meet the tire and rim selection requirements of FMVSS 110.
If the trailer is loaded to the incorrect higher rating, the axles can be overloaded. An overloaded trailer may lose control and the risk of a crash increases.
Jayco will notify owners, and authorized dealers will supply a new Federal ID label showing the correct axle weight rating, free of charge. You can contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
