Jayco Recall

Of all the things that need to be improved with RV's, starting with tires that are not built to withhold the weight of the RV and/or temperatures generated, to frames that twist or welds that break, our government(NHTSA) focuses on recalls because incorrect labels were attached to a trailer. Be interested to learn if Jayco took this upon themselves or if NHTSA ordered them to send out new labels. Certainly Jayco knew the labels they affixed to the RV did not match the tires they were installing on the axles.

Usually this kind of "infraction" is quickly resolved as soon as the manufacturer learns of the problem. NHTSA just gets notified, if they didn't discover the issue, and that covers all the legal requirements.

I had this happen with a small utility trailer I bought from harbor Freight. This mistake can easily happen when companies do not have a real QA department that keeps an eye out for this kind of thing.
