Jayco is recalling 2016 Eagle Half Ton fifth wheel trailers because they lack required warning labels on the towing hitch regarding weight limits and braking.

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 where the missing labels could lead to overload, tire/axle failure, and crashes, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 Eagle Half Ton (HT) fifth wheel trailers manufactured between May 19, 2015, and October 8, 2015. The affected vehicles are missing warning labels on the towing hitch that identify the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for towing, maximum tongue weight, and towing vehicle braking information.

The absence of these labels means a vehicle operator could unknowingly overload the trailer. This condition may result in tire or axle failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will apply the proper warning labels free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2015. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
