Jayco recall: Power train
What is wrong
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2011 pinnacle fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter axles. On some axles, cracks could appear in the spindle weld.
What could happen
These cracks can propagate and cause the spindle to detach from the axle tube, resulting in the separation of the wheel end from the vehicle, creating a road hazard that increases the risk of a crash to other vehicles, and compromises the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Jayco is working with dexter axle and will inspect the axle serial number and replace it if it falls within the serial number range. Replacement of the axle will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 18, 2010. Owners may contact jayco at 1-800-283-8267 and dexter axle at 1-800-2164.
