What happened

Jayco is recalling certain 2016-2017 Jay Feather, Jay Flight, Jay Flight SLX, Eagle, White Hawk, and Octane travel trailers manufactured between January 5, 2016, and July 18, 2016, that are equipped with a Sway Command anti-sway system. When these trailers are towed by vehicles with an integrated brake controller, the trailer brakes may stop functioning after the anti-sway system activates in response to swaying. This condition could make it harder to stop the vehicle and cause loss of control, increasing crash risk.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will remove the Sway Command system from affected trailers at no charge. The recall began on August 3, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 and reference recall number 9901308.
