What's wrong?
The tire label on a 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight tells an owner which tires and weight ratings apply to that trailer. The cargo carrying capacity label, often called the CCC label, tells the owner how much load the trailer is rated to carry. Those labels are part of the safety information owners use before loading and towing.
On the affected Jay Flight trailers, the weight calculations used to print the CCC and tire labels were wrong. Jayco traced the problem to incorrect data in the system that calculated the trailer weight information. That left the label showing the wrong weight rating, even though the trailer itself had not changed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not hear, feel, or see a driving symptom from the label error. The issue is the printed rating on the label, so the repair path is replacing the label with the correct weight information.

Not every 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect weight ratings on the tire label can lead an operator to overload the trailer. Overloading accelerates tire wear and increases the risk of a crash. Until the corrected label is installed, confirm cargo and weight limits with the dealer before loading for travel. Repair will be free at any franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight is included in this recall.

- Contact a franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer to ask whether the corrected tire-weight labels are ready for your trailer.
- Avoid loading the trailer based only on the incorrect tire label until the corrected label is installed.
