What this recall means for you
Some of these trailers were built with a 4 1/4 inch spring hanger instead of the correct 5 1/4 inch hanger. The smaller hanger reduces the clearance between the tires and the frame, so the tires have less room to move.
Reduced tire clearance can increase the risk of a tire blowout. A blowout can cause loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Jayco will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install the correct 5 1/4 inch spring hangers at no charge. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-617-776-0344 and reference recall number 9901563. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
