2003–2004 Jayco Talon recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On recreational 5TH wheel trailers, the 1" by 1" steel angle, located on the front and rear of the axle plate, which helps eliminate side to side movement of the axle plate, may not have been welded properly or may have been welded in an improper location.
💥 The risk
The steel angle may come loose from either side of the axle plate and drag or separate completely from the vehicle causing premature tire wear increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. Owner notification began april 30, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact jayco at 1-574-825-0608.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
