STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2021 Jayco Eagle fifth wheel vehicles. Certain vehicles were equipped with a 4 1/4 inch spring hanger instead of the proper 5 1/4 inch spring hanger, reducing the tire clearance.
- What it can cause
- Reduced tire clearance can increase the risk of tire blow out, which can cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of an crash.
- What the dealer does
- Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct 5 1/4 spring hangers, free of charge. The recall began March 29, 2021. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-617-776-0344. Jayco's number for this recall is 9901563.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 139 vehicles this is a small campaign: 66% of the 14,639 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 490. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the structure 15 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V388000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V685000 (equipment), 21V425000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jayco, Inc. with NHTSA on February 4, 2021 as campaign 21V049000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
