Jayco on certain motor homes, the distance from the rear cap to the hitch receiver encourages the use of longer ball mounts AND/OR extensions.
The short version
JAYCO, INC. reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR CAP TO THE HITCH RECEIVER ENCOURAGES THE USE OF LONGER BALL MOUNTS AND/OR EXTENSIONS. THE LONGER THE BALL MOUNT AND/OR EXTENSIONS USED, THE GREATER THE FORCES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THE FASTENERS THAT ATTACH THE HITCH TO THE MAIN CHASSIS RAILS.
THIS COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE MOTOR HOME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE WITH HARDWARE OF A HIGHER GRADE, free of charge.
