- Problem
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2018 Eagle EA, EB, ED travel trailers. The Federal Labels and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label on these vehicles may incorrectly list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 11,750lbs, when the actual GVWR is 11,700lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Risk
- If the GVWR is incorrect it can allow the vehicle to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Jayco will notify owners and provide them with a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on February 13, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901373.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The Federal Labels and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label on certain 2018 Jayco Eagle travel trailers (EA, EB and ED models) may list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 11,750 lbs when the actual GVWR is 11,700 lbs. The vehicles therefore do not fully comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110, which covers tire selection and rims.
Because the label overstates the GVWR, an owner could load the trailer beyond its true limit without realizing it. Overloading increases the risk of a crash.
Jayco will notify owners and send a corrected label at no cost. Owners can contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 and should check their VIN for any open recalls.
