- The problem
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

- The risk

Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- On certain travel and fifth wheel trailers equipped with hickory springs 'big easy triple steps,' an improper engagement of the bottom step pivot arm with the formed stop edge of the middle step support bracket can result in the bottom step rotating to an unsafe downward angle.
- The risk
- A person could be injured should the step give way while being used to enter or exit the trailer.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the trailers for the manufacturing date sticker to verify the date of production of the step and, if necessary, will weld stock to each side of the lower (triple) step stop edges. The recall began on march 30, 2007. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.

Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jayco jay flight. The contact received a notification for nhtsa campaign id number: 07v118000 (structure). The contact submitted the request for the remedy kit specified on the recall notification. However, the manufacturer has been unresponsive. The contact mentioned that the lock had already malfunctioned failing to lock from the inside and outside of the trailer. The contact still had not received the new replacement lock.
We noticed these tires were failing just before they actually blew apart. The first one I noticed in waco tx, just after parking in an rv park. A piece of rubber the size of your hand was missing ? But the tire was still holding air. I replaced that tire with the spare and took the tire to a goodyear dealer (wingfoot) in waco who replaced it at no charge except for mounting and balancing. Later I went to the dealer in selma, tx where I purchased the camper (in jan 2007) for some interior warranty work. The service...

writer glanced at my tires as he walked by and said: ?You have a major problem with those tires, the tread is separating. You need to go to a goodyear dealer as soon as you leave here and get at least 2 of those tires replaced and check the others?. I went to a goodyear dealer in san antonio but the manager wanted nothing to do with this situation ? He insisted there was nothing wrong with the tires after looking at and feeling them and suggested I talk to someone at a goodyear company store. We returned to our campsite in flatonia, tx and the next morning went to a local tire dealer (who didn't handle goodyear) and asked him to inspect the tires. He jacked up one axle at a time and spun the tires. All 3 tires were out of round, 2 very badly and one somewhat. He put the spare (the new goodyear from waco) on the ground replacing the worst tire and said I needed to go to the goodyear dealer in la grange, tx and get all 3 replaced as all were separating and very dangerous. That dealer in la grange agreed they were separating and replaced all 3 on a prorated basis. One of the original tires (mounted as a spare when we bought the camper) is now on the ground; i?Ll watch it very closely for signs of separation. All 5 tires that came with the unit were 225/75 r15 load range d with dot codes: ohhh mlhr 3206 or 3306. *Jb
