What's wrong?
The cargo carrying capacity and tire labels on the 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Flight Slx are the factory stickers that tell an owner how much weight the trailer is rated to carry. They also support tire and rim selection by tying the trailer's weight information to the load the tires are expected to handle. Owners and dealers use those labels when loading the trailer and checking tire setup.
On affected trailers, the wrong weight data was entered into the system used to calculate cargo carrying capacity. That incorrect data was printed on the tire label and cargo carrying capacity label. The trailer itself was not described as having a broken mechanical part; the defect is that the labels show the wrong weight information, which gives the owner the wrong basis for loading decisions.
There is no warning sign before failure. The label looks like a normal factory sticker, so the problem is the printed information, not a part that changes feel, sound, or handling before you read it.
