Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Pinnacle Fifth Wheel trailers. The suspension on these vehicles may allow the tires to contact the structure when under a certain load, which can cause damage to the tires.

NHTSA notes that critical information regarding the defect description and risk to motor vehicle safety is currently missing from the recall record and must be supplied by the manufacturer.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the condition of the leaf spring, rubber equalizer, and bump stop clearance. Dealers will provide replacement of the leaf spring or rubber equalizer if necessary. This repair will be done free of charge.
