What's wrong?
The tire and loading labels on a 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Octane tell an owner or service desk which tires belong on the trailer and what pressure to use. That information matters because the tire size, load range, and 50 psi setting must match the tires installed on the trailer.
On the affected Octane trailers, the tires themselves are the correct ST205/75R15C tires. The problem is the printed label, which lists ST205/75R15D information instead. Jayco traced the mismatch to a data entry error, so the trailer has the right tires but the wrong tire information on the labels.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not feel this problem while towing, because the defect is incorrect printed guidance rather than a tire part breaking down. The mismatch appears when the label is compared with the tire sidewall and the correct load range C, 50 psi specification.
Who's affected?
The issue is tied to the tire and vehicle label information, so the same Octane trailers appear under both component categories.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire pressure information can lead owners to overinflate the tires. Overinflation can cause sudden tire failure and increase the risk of a crash. Use the corrected tire label before setting pressure, and schedule the recall work so the wrong label is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Octane is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jayco Travel Trailer dealer to get the corrected tire-information label installed for free.
- Bring the recall notice if Jayco Travel Trailer sent one. If not, reference recall number 16V671 when you call.
- Use the corrected label before setting tire pressure; the old label lists incorrect tire load range and pressure information.
- Avoid inflating the tires from the old label, since incorrect pressure can lead to sudden tire failure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jayco Travel Trailer technician applies the corrected tire information label to replace the label with the wrong tire load range and tire pressure information. The repair is a label correction, not a tire or wheel replacement. The corrected label is provided free of charge under the recall, and parts and labor are covered. After the label is installed, use the corrected tire information when checking tire pressure or replacing tires.
