Jayco issues recall for potentially dangerous tire info on label

Could you put the wrong tire on your trailer? If you own one of the fifth wheels or travel trailers involved in this recall you might. Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2025 Jayco Eagle fifth wheels, Eagle HT fifth wheels, and Eagle HT travel trailers. The certification label states incorrect tire load and tire size information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, “Certification.” Incorrect tire information could result in the wrong tires being installed on the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. Potentially 129 of these RVs are involved in the recall related to Jayco bad tire information.

Jayco bad tire information remedy

Jayco will mail replacement labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 4, 2025. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco’s number for this recall is 9901621.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Background

When data entry was done to create the certification labels, somebody goofed, leading to the Jayco bad tire information issue. The certification labels have the incorrect tire aspect ratio and tire load range listed. Labels show the incorrect tire aspect ratio of 85 and a tire load range of E instead of the correct tire aspect ratio of 80 and tire load range of H.

Russ and Tiña went from childhood tent camping to RVing in the 1980s when the ground got too hard. They've been tutored in the ways of RVing (and RV repair) by a series of rigs, from truck campers, to a fifth-wheel, and several travel trailers. In addition to writing scores of articles on RVing topics, they've also taught college classes for folks new to RVing. They authored the book, RV Boondocking Basics.

Thank you for the news, Russ and Tina! It seems far more likely that one needing new tires would check the specs on the existing tires and buy similar tires. But, the updated label does preclude an owner ordering new tires based on the label, and getting the wrong tires. Have a great week and safe travels!
