Equipment
Problem: Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Fix: Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018.

Wheels
Problem: On certain travel trailers, due to various factors, including excessive paint coating on the brake hub, the aluminum wheels could exhibit lessened clamping pressure between the aluminum wheel and the axle hub assembly.
Risk: This could lead to wheel separation, which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect all wheels, lugs, studs and mating surfaces, and remove paint from the mating surfaces of the wheel and hub. The recall began on october 18, 2004. Owners should contact jayco at 1-219-825-5861.
