Structure

Issue Description

On some fifth wheel trailers with the spare tire mounted on the bumper, the bumper may crack at the frame attachment points due to metal fatigue. This could cause the bumper to become separated from the trailer and strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: A reinforcement kit will be installed at the bumper attachment point.

Safety Risk

A failure of this component (structure) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Brakes

Issue Description

On certain travel trailers, the axles may have been installed backwards during vehicle assembly. This could cause a reduction in braking torque and shortened brake lining service life. A reduction in braking efficiency could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove and reverse the axles.

Other

Issue Description

On certain travel trailers, the hitch couplers may be lacking an indentation on the forward edge of the coupler. If the coupler is lacking the indent, it will lead to an increased risk of trailer separation from the hitch ball while towing. A towed unit separating from the towing vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Owners will be advised to inspect the hitch coupler for the correct stamping. If the hitch coupler is not formed correctly Keystone RV will make arrangements to replace it. *** IMPORTANT - DO NOT tow the trailer until it is confirmed you have a correctly formed coupler ***

Electrical

Issue Description

On certain travel trailers, one inch plug-in circuit breakers (single & double pole 15 - 50 amps) may have a non-conforming "spring clip" plug-in assembly that breaks or fails to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection in the panel board. Over time, this condition could lead to excessive temperature, arcing, or thermal damage at the connection point, and potential damage to the electrical insulation of the panel board. This could lead to a fire, property damage, or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and remove all affected breakers from the distribution panel, and replace them with new breakers.

Wheels

Issue Description

Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers originally equipped with white (spoke or modular design) steel wheels may have poor weld quality between the wheel center disk and outer rim. The wheels which have a six (6) hole bolt pattern were manufactured by Xingmin Wheel and bear the rim stamp "07 10 06 Z" or "08 10 16 B" on the back side of the rim. The poor weld could cause the outer rim portion of the wheel to fail. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, property, or a bystander. Both problems could cause property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the wheels for the specific rim identification markings and replace as necessary. Note: For vehicles with the aluminum wheel option, the recall only applies to the spare tire if equipped with above-mentioned wheel

On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers, the Atwood 35-series range oven, model number beginning with RV1735, RV2135, RA1735, or RA2135, may develop a small crack within the line delivering gas to the oven cavity burner.
