The problem
On certain camping trailers, the hydraulic brake line p-clamp was incorrectly installed. This may cause the metal brake line elbow between the brake hose and the backing plate to break while traveling down the road leading to the loss of braking capabilities.
The risk
This condition, if not addressed, could result in a crash, injury or death.
The fix
Dealers will remove the brake hose p-clamp and replace the metal brake line elbows free of charge. The recall began on february 14, 2006. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
