What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle) that may cause tire failure and an increased risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2017 Eagle fifth wheel trailers, model 355 MBQS, manufactured between October 7, 2016, and October 11, 2016.

Jayco dealers will replace the 6000lb capacity axle with a 7000lb capacity axle, including new rims and tires, and will install updated Federal ID and Cargo Carrying Capacity labels free of charge. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901330.
