What's wrong?
The tire and loading label on a 2012 Jayco Jay Flight travel trailer is the owner's quick reference for tire load range and cold tire inflation pressure. The load range tells you the tire's rated carrying capacity, and the cold inflation pressure tells you the pressure to use before the trailer has been driven. Dealers and owners use that label when checking tires before a trip.
On affected trailers, Jayco put incorrect load range and cold inflation pressure information on the label. The trailer itself is not described as having a broken tire or rim. The defect is that the label gives the wrong tire setup information, which means the trailer does not match the federal safety standard for tire selection and rims on vehicles other than passenger cars.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner looking at the trailer label would see the wrong load range or pressure information unless the label has been corrected.

Not every 2012 Jayco Jay Flight trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
The misprinted label can give the wrong loading or tire inflation information. Following that label can lead to improper loading, incorrect tire pressure, tire failure, and a higher crash risk. Use corrected label information before loading the trailer or setting tire pressure. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Jayco Jay Flight is included in this recall.
- Use Jayco's owner letter to confirm dealer instructions for the label replacement.
- Contact a franchised Jayco dealer before relying on the trailer's load range or cold tire inflation label.
- Bring the recall notice if Jayco mailed one. If not, reference recall number 12V183 when you call.
- Use the corrected label after the repair so loading and tire inflation match the trailer's required specifications.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco technician removes the incorrect load range and cold tire inflation pressure labels and installs corrected labels. Jayco said owner notices were scheduled to begin in May 2012, and dealers would replace the labels at no charge. Once the dealer repair is available for an included trailer, parts and labor are covered under the recall. Use the corrected label when setting tire pressure and confirming the load range for the trailer.
