Jayco Recalls 2017 Jay Flight SLX Trailers for Inaccurate Weight Labels

Jayco is recalling 2017 Jay Flight SLX travel trailers with the Rocky Mountain Package because their cargo capacity labels are inaccurate, which could lead to overloading.

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 defect that increases the risk of a crash due to potential overloading, which fits the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Jay Flight SLX travel trailers equipped with the Rocky Mountain Package option. The recall involves 116 vehicles. The issue is that the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) labels on these trailers did not include the weight of the water tank and water when calculating the total capacity. As a result, the stated CCC is overstated beyond the 1% variance allowed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

An inaccurate CCC label may lead owners to overload the trailer. Overloading can affect the vehicle's handling and increase the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the defect creates a safety risk related to vehicle stability and tire performance.

Owners should contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 to arrange for corrected labels to be provided free of charge. The recall began on July 20, 2017. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information.
