The problem
Certain fifth wheel travel trailers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'Tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.' The federal identification label contains the incorrect tire load range and inflation pressures.
The risk
This standard specifies tire and rim selection requirements and rim marking requirements.
The fix
The incorrect label will be removed and a new correct label will be installed. The recall began on may 15, 2007. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
