What's wrong?
The label problem on the 2021 Jayco Travel Trailer Jay Feather is not a broken axle or tire by itself. It is the tire and certification label, the sticker that tells an owner and dealer which tire size belongs on the trailer and how much weight the axle is rated to carry. That information is used when choosing replacement tires, setting tire pressure, and loading the trailer.
On the Jay Feather X213 "J3" Baja type build, Jayco used different axles and tires, but that special build was not carried through to the label information. The incorrect labels list the tires as ST205/75R14 load range "D" and the GAWR as 3,000lbs. If an owner follows the wrong label, the trailer can be loaded beyond the equipment rating.
There is no warning sign before failure. The label error does not create a dashboard light or a clear handling symptom while the trailer is parked, so the important check is whether the trailer is included and whether the tire and weight-rating labels have been corrected.
Who's affected?
The scope connects the vehicle label and tire portions of the recall, so use the VIN check instead of judging from the placard or tire listing alone.
