What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tire failure leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed incidents.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012 Jay Flight Bungalow travel trailers manufactured between March 19, 2012, and March 27, 2012. The recall involves 66 units where the load range and cold tire inflation pressure are incorrectly identified on the vehicle labels. As a result, these vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, which governs tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.

The incorrect labeling creates a safety hazard because owners may rely on the misprinted information for vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation. Improper loading or inflation could result in a tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the potential for tire failure is explicitly cited as the consequence of the defect.

The recall began in May 2012. Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will remove the incorrect labels and replace them with correct ones. Owners should contact Jayco at 574-825-0608 for more information. Customers may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
