WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY IL45 IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS WHEN OUR DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE ON OUR FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER BLEW OUT. IT CAUSED NOT ONLY A BLOWN TIRE, BUT ALSO CAUSED THE STABILIZER BARS TO BREAK. WHEN SPEAKING TO SEVERAL VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE 5TH WHEEL OWNERS AND TIRE SERVICE DEALERS, WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THE TIRES PUT ON OUR CAMPER HAD BARELY MET U.S. LOAD/WEIGHT STANDARDS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE "POWER KING" BRAND (CHEAP, MADE IN CHINA), THAT WERE PUT ON OUR CAMPER. THE JAYCO EAGLE IS A VERY HEAVY CAMPER, THUS NEEDING HEAVY DUTY TIRES, NOT THE LIGHT-WEIGHT TIRES THAT WERE CAME WITH THE CAMPER. IF WE HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, OR A HIGH-TRAFFIC AREA, A BLOWOUT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS! WE WOULD LIKE JAYCO TO DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES!

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling various 2002-2016 recreational vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V746-9524.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
