Jayco Fifth Wheel Eagle HT Recall 19V628: Wrong-length pin box bolts can cause a crash risk

What this recall means for you

Certain 2019-2020 Jayco Eagle HT fifth wheel trailers equipped with MORyde Orbital or You Turn Rubber Pin Box Wedge Kits may have pin box bolts that are 1-3/4 inches long instead of the required 2 inches. When the pin box is unlocked, the incorrect bolts may allow the rotating pin box to rotate in two places, which increases the risk of a crash.

Jayco will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the bolts and replace them as necessary. The repair is free of charge. To check whether your trailer is affected, contact MORyde customer service at 1-574-293-1581 or Jayco at 1-800-283-8267 (Jayco recall number 9901435), and check your VIN for open recalls.
