The problem
On certain folding tent campers, the federal certification (and rvia) labels have the incorrect gross vehicle weight rating, tire size, and inflation pressure listed.
The risk
If the tires were inflated to 80 psi, they could blow resulting in a possible crash.
The fix
Owners will be mailed correct labels for installation on their vehicles. Owner notification began september 23, 2002. Owners should contact jayco at 1-877-825-4782.
Contacts
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
