116 Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jul 13, 2017
Safety Issue:

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Jay Flight SLX travel trailers equipped with the Rocky Mountain Package option. The Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) labels on the affected vehicles did not include the weight of the water tank and water when calculating the CCC, therefore, the CCC is overstated beyond the 1% variance allowed.

Potential Risk:
Without an accurate CCC, the trailer may be overloaded, affecting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
