Jayco Travel Trailer recall: Equipment

What is wrong

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2017, 2018 Eagle 333BHOK (EC) travel trailers. The safety chains on these vehicles are rated at 11,700 lbs, however the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 12,500lbs. In the event of a trailer detachment, the underrated safety chains may fail.

What could happen

If the safety chains fail in the event of a detachment, the trailer would separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install safety chains that have a GVWR of 16,200lbs, free of charge. The recall began on February 8, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901372.
