What's wrong?
The tire label on the 2015 Jayco Fifth Wheel Eagle is the sticker that tells an owner or service shop which tire size belongs on the trailer. That label is used when tires are inspected, replaced, or matched to the trailer's load carrying information. On these fifth wheel trailers, the label is supposed to point to the correct tire size for the installed equipment.
The problem is the label, not a tire part that broke. Jayco traced the issue to a data entry error that put the wrong tire size on the affected labels. A replacement label corrects the size information to 235/80R16E, so the trailer's tire information matches the tires Jayco intended for that build.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are unlikely to feel a driving symptom from an incorrect label, so the issue shows up when the tire label is checked against the tires on the trailer or when tires are being replaced.

What's the safety risk?
The incorrect tire label can lead an owner or shop to install replacement tires that are not rated for the trailer. That can overload the tires, hurt handling, or lead to tire failure and increase crash risk. Use the corrected label before replacing tires. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco Fifth Wheel dealer.
