Dear Jayco Dealer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Defect Involved
Jayco has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2015 Eagle Fifth Wheels manufactured March 13, 2014 through August 1, 2014. The Federal Certification Label and CSA Data Sheet incorrectly note the tire size as ST225/75R15D when the correct tire size on the fifth wheel is ST235/80R16E.
