KEYSTONE OUTBACK

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Outback 330RL travel trailers. The side window was incorrectly labeled as an emergency exit, which can delay passengers from exiting in the event of an emergency.

Risk: A mislabeled window that will not allow passengers to exit in an emergency increases the risk of injury.

TRAILER HITCHES

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2022 Bullet, Outback, and Passport travel trailers. The coupler hitch may have been welded improperly, which can cause the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.

Risk: Trailer separation from a tow vehicle can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2022 Dutchmen Aspen Trail, Coleman, Colorado, Voltage, Yukon, Keystone Carbon, Cougar, Hideout, Montana, Outback, Passport, Raptor, Retreat, Springdale, Sprinter and 2022-2023 Keystone Bullet travel trailers. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.

Risk: An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Outback 335CG and 340BH recreational trailers. A section of the frame rail may have inadequate support where the draw bar is attached, allowing the frame rail to buckle.

Risk: A buckled frame may fail and increase the risk of a crash.

TIRES

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2021 Outback travel trailers. The Federal Identification Tag incorrectly states that the tire pressure should be 65 PSI, when the correct tire pressure is 80 PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Risk: The incorrect label may lead to unintentionally underinflating the tires, possibly causing their failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBS

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019 Keystone Cougar, Outback, Passport, Springdale, Bullet and Hideout recreational trailers and 2019 Dutchmen Aerolite and Atlas recreational trailers. The inner hub bearings of the axles may not have been sufficiently greased, which can cause the bearings to overheat and fail.

Risk: If the bearings overheat, the hub may fail, affecting handling and increasing the risk of a crash.

STRUCTURE

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Keystone Outback travel trailers, models 220URB, 240URS, 250URS, 255UBH, and 293UBH. The affected vehicles were built with an incorrect drawbar installed to tow the travel trailer.

Risk: Under certain conditions while traveling, the drawbar may bend, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling various 2003-2018 Crossroads, Dutchmen, and Keystone recreational trailers 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-17V755-5127.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.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Keystone Outback recreational trailers, model 326RL, manufactured February 24, 2016, to April 21, 2016. These vehicles have a television mounting bracket that may not be properly secured to the wall.

Risk: The improperly secured bracket may allow the TV to fall, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant nearby.

STRUCTURE

The contact owns a 2023 Keystone Cougar. The contact stated that while towing the RV at an undisclosed speed, the contact could see the top of the RV, which was normally impossible, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection, the contact became aware that the frame at the hitch had buckled, allowing the front of the RV to tilt downward. No warning lights were illuminated. The RV was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The RV was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 1,000.

STRUCTURE

The recall was originally done by the selling dealer in February 21. We purchased the RV in February 21. The recall failed 6 months later. It was repaired by the frame manufacturer BAL while we were in Florida. The recall is failing AGAIN. This recall is inadequate. RV is no longer safe to tow. Keystone knows the recall repair is inadequate.
