Jayco North Point Fifth Wheel Lawsuit: Get the Right Lawyer

What’s the Problem?

This recall affects Jayco North Point fifth-wheel trailers from model year 2017, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The leaf springs in the front and rear suspension of the affected fifth-wheel trailers do not provide adequate load support and may allow the tires to contact the surrounding structure under certain dynamic load conditions, NHTSA said.

Tires contact with the wheel well or surrounding structure may cause damage to the tire, or cause premature tire wear, and loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Jayco is notifying owners and dealers will install a rubber bump stop into the top sides of the axles, as well as inspect the suspension and replace any defective leaf springs as necessary, free of charge.

This recall began on July 27, 2020.
