The problem
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Hummingbird travel trailers, models H13C0567-0603, 0608-0636, 0638-0662, and H13E0052-0110. The labels on the affected vehicles incorrectly state that the vehicle is equipped with 14" load range D tires requiring 65 PSI, when the vehicle is actually equipped with 14" load range C tires requiring 50 PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The risk
The incorrect information on the label may result in the tires being over inflated, which could lead to their failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Jayco will notify owners, and will provide corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began on July 13, 2017. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901357.
