The defect
Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016 White Hawk travel trailers, model 25BHS, manufactured on March 3, 2016. The affected trailers were incorrectly built on axles rated for 3000 lbs., when they should have been built with axles that have a capacity of 3500 lbs.
The risk
If the trailer is loaded to the capacity listed on the label, trailer handling may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
