What's wrong

The problem

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI MOTOR HOMES. INCORRECT MOUNTING OF THE HELLWIG HELPER SPRING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CHANGE IN THE STYLE OF SPRING BEING INSTALLED ALLOWED THE U BOLT SECURING THE HELPER SPRING TO THE OEM SPRING TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE REAR SWAY BAR.

The risk

THE SWAY BAR COULD BECOME NONFUNCTIONAL AND THE UNIT WOULD BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

What to do

The fix

DEALERS WILL ELIMINATE THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE HELPER SPRING U BOLT AND THE SWAY BAR MOUNTING BOLT. DEALERS WILL REMOVE, REVERSE THE MOUNTING, AND REINSTALL THE HELLWIG HELPER SPRING. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT JAYCO AT 1-219-825-5861.

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
