- 2012 Jayco JAY FlightBuilt March 2012 to March 2012
What the defect is
Jayco is recalling certain model year 2012 jay flight bungalow travel trailers, manufactured from march 19, 2012, through march 27, 2012. The load range and the cold tire inflation pressure on these trailers are incorrectly identified. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.
What could happen
Relying on the a misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
What gets fixed
JAYCO WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE LABELS WITH A CORRECT LABEL. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN IN MAY 2012.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 27 April 2012.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
