Jayco Recalls 2019 Travel Trailers Due to Insufficient Wheel Bearing Grease

Jayco is recalling 2019 Jay Flight SLX, Jay Feather, and White Hawk travel trailers because inner wheel hub bearings may lack sufficient grease, risking overheating and hub failure.

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 structural vehicle defect (bearing/hub failure) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Jayco White Hawk, Jay Flight SLX, and Jay Feather travel trailers. The recall involves the rear axle non-powered axle assembly, specifically the inner wheel hub bearings. The defect is that these bearings may not have been sufficiently greased during manufacturing.

If the bearings overheat due to insufficient lubrication, they can fail. This failure can cause the hub to fail, which affects the vehicle's handling and increases the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the hubs and bearings as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 21, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
