The short version
Jayco, Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The safety chains on these vehicles are rated at 11,700 lbs, however the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 12,500lbs. In the event of a trailer detachment, the underrated safety chains may fail.
If the safety chains fail in the event of a detachment, the trailer would separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install safety chains that have a GVWR of 16,200lbs, free of charge.
