Jayco Recalls 2016 White Hawk Travel Trailers Due to Axle Defect

Jayco is recalling 10 model year 2016 White Hawk travel trailers because they were built with axles rated for 3000 lbs instead of the required 3500 lbs, which may affect handling.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 structural vehicle defect (incorrect axle rating) that increases the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 White Hawk travel trailers, model 25BHS, manufactured on March 3, 2016. The affected trailers were incorrectly built on axles rated for 3,000 lbs., when they should have been built with axles that have a capacity of 3,500 lbs.

If the trailer is loaded to the capacity listed on the label, trailer handling may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. All of the affected trailers have been quarantined at Jayco dealers prior to their sale, and no owner notification letters will be sent.

Dealers will install the correct axles free of charge. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
