Recalls- Incorrect weight labels. Recall 16V514000 covers 32 units with Cargo Carrying Capacity and Tire Labels showing wrong vehicle weight. The error risks overloading, which affects handling and increases crash risk. Dealers provide corrected labels free of charge.
- Trailer brake malfunction. Recall 16V560000 affects 3,085 units equipped with Sway Command anti-sway. When connected to some tow vehicles with integrated brake controllers, trailer brakes may fail after sway control activation, increasing crash risk. The Sway Command system is removed at no cost.
- No circuit overcurrent protection. Recall 17V696000 covers 9,930 trailers with a 35-amp power converter lacking proper fuse or circuit breaker protection. This raises fire risk during electrical shorts. Dealers install fuse harness assemblies with circuit breakers free of charge.
- Overstated cargo carrying capacity. Recall 17V440000 involves 116 trailers with the Rocky Mountain Package whose labels fail to account for water tank weight, overstating capacity. This may lead to overloading and handling issues. Corrected labels are provided free.
- Overheating LED ceiling lights. Recall 17V290000 affects 13,049 units where LED ceiling lights may produce excessive heat, increasing fire risk. Affected lights are replaced free of charge by dealers.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving safety defects may consider reviewing their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting a qualified attorney could provide guidance on potential remedies.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017 Jay Flight SLX travel trailers equipped with the Rocky Mountain Package option.
