2012 Jayco White Hawk recalls

Recall 17V-746: Equipment

Reported Nov 21, 2017 · 49,563 vehicles affected · Jayco, Inc.

Problem: 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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Jayco will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

Vehicle Speed Control · at 30 miles · reported Jul 30, 2017
Entering express way a truck was turing the car was so close not letting truck turn which started to speed to go faster than truck
Service Brakes · at 10,000 miles · reported Oct 7, 2016
Had to change axles on white hawk and the guy doing the work noticed the brakes were missing a bushing on the actuator arm. He said in the 15 years he has never seen this before. I had to replace the entire brake assemblies due to the omission of this part. Dexter would not reimburse me the cost of the brake assembly.
Suspension · at 10,000 miles · reported Oct 7, 2016
Purchased from an individual this whitehawk. Noticed extreme tire wear on the trailer so did some research and found out some 2012 whitehawks had the wrong axles installed. Jayco did not recall any of these white hawks. I had to pay for labor on a miss-assembly and will have to replace tires prematurely.
