Consumer Description

BOTH AXLES, SPRINGS AND HARDWARE ON THE FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER ARE FAULTY. THE LEAF SPRINGS AND AXLES ARE NOT THE CORRECT WEIGH RATED FOR THIS MODEL. THE TOP OF THE TIRES RUB AGAINST THE CAMPER FLOOR WHILE IN MOTION. JAYCO HAS APPROVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SPRINGS AND U-BOLTS. THE AXLES NEED TO BE UPGRADED FROM A 7000 LB AXLE TO A 8000 LB AXLE. THERE HAS BEEN MANY JAYCO 36 FBTS OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MAJOR DAMAGE AND LOSS. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A MANDATED RECALL AND REPAIR BE MADE BY JAYCO BEFORE AN INJURY OR DEATH TAKES PLACE. *DT CARFAX CANNOT PROCESS THIS REQUEST. *JB *DT *TR *BF *JB
