01 What Jayco publishes for the Hummingbird
Jayco, Inc. lists 7 Hummingbird trailers in its 2019 Hummingbird brochure. Jayco prints a dry weight for every one profiled here, and each has a page of its own. It prints a GVWR for every one too. It prints a net carrying capacity for 7; on the 7 that carry both that and a GVWR, the dry weight plus the carrying capacity equals the GVWR exactly on 7. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Jayco’s 2019 Hummingbird brochure, 5 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.
03 Reading Jayco’s figures
A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.
05 Recalls
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting this line. The earliest was reported 1 May 2017 and the most recent 30 Jun 2017.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Jun 2017 | 17V422000 | Equipment | The incorrect information on the label may result in the tires being over inflated, which could lead to their failure, increasing the risk of a crash. |
| 1 May 2017 | 17V290000 | Interior lighting | The excessive heat from the LED ceiling lights may increase the risk of a fire. |
Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.
This count covers campaigns NHTSA files under the Jayco Hummingbird name only; other Jayco lines named in the same filings count on their own pages.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
