JAYCO SHIPPED EARLY MODEL YEAR WHITE HAWK TRAVEL TRAILERS WITH 2 3/8" AXLES (42" WIDE STANCE AXLE SPACING). DURING TURNING THE WIDE STANCE AXLES ARE BENDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO AXLE, BEARING ASSEMBLY, AND TIRES, BECAUSE THE AXLES CAN'T HOLD UP TO THE WEIGHT . TIRES ARE GETTING EXCESSIVE INSIDE WEAR ON THE INSIDE TREAD, AXLES ARE BENDING, AND IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME CATCHING FIRE. SEE FORUM: HTTP://WWW.JAYCOOWNERS.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=15137 REGARDING OTHER CONSUMERS WITH SAME ISSUE. JAYCO IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SO IS DEXTER AXLE. DEXTER AXLE IS PROVIDING FULL REPLACEMENT OF AXLES TO A UPGRADED 3" AXLE SIZE TO PREVENT DAMAGE MENTIONED ABOVE, IF THE CONSUMER IS PROACTIVE AND CONTACTS JAYCO AND / OR DEXTER AXLE. JAYCO, AT THIS TIME, REFUSES TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF THIS ISSUE OR ISSUE A RECALL. BEING A CAREER FIRE FIGHTER, I FEEL JAYCO IS NOT ONLY PUTTING THERE CONSUMERS IN HARMS WAY, BUT THE REST OF US ON THE ROAD. *TR
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
