What's wrong?
The tire and loading labels on the 2017 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Series Sport camping trailer tell the owner and service shop which tires are installed and what pressure to use. On the affected 12SC trailers, the label lists ST175/80R13D tires at 65 PSI. The trailers were built with ST175/80R13C tires, which require 50 PSI.
The label is wrong because the label data did not match the engineering change to the C range tire. The tire itself is not the mislabeled part. The problem is that an owner following the label is told to inflate the installed tire to the wrong pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure. You see the problem by reading the tire sidewall and comparing it with the tire and loading label; if they do not match, the label is wrong.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?

At the dealer, a Jayco Travel Trailer technician verifies the tire information label and installs the corrected label showing the ST175/80R13C tires and 50 PSI pressure. Jayco has already notified owners and supplies the corrected label free of charge, so parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you've already paid out of pocket for a related label correction, Jayco's general reimbursement plan on file covers documented expenses.
