Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Octane Super Lite travel trailers manufactured between June 22, 2016, and June 23, 2016. The recall addresses a defect where the vehicle labels contain incorrect tire load range and tire pressure information. This non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," creates a safety risk.

Incorrect tire pressure information may result in the tires being over-inflated. Over-inflation can cause sudden tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Jayco has notified owners and will provide a new label with the correct tire information free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
