Recall 07V185000 (27/04/2007): EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
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.
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.
Doors, windows, steps and lights: 1 complaint
What a tech checks: Mostly adjustments and wear: steps that stop halfway on a bad switch, doors out of alignment after a slide shifted, exterior lights with a corroded ground. Before you buy: Every door, lock, window and light.
Tires: 1 complaint
What a tech checks: Age, load range and pressure. RV tires age out before they wear out, and an underrated tire on a heavy trailer is a blowout waiting to happen. Before you buy: Read the DOT date and the load range on the sidewall.
