What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2017 Keystone Outback, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

2017 KEYSTONE OUTBACK RV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FIRE EXTINGUISHER SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS
TRAILER PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL OF 2017. DURING A THANKSGIVING TRIP I NOTICED WHAT SEEMS TO BE A TIRE DELAMINATING. WE REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE. UPON INSPECTION WHEN WE RETURNED HOME I NOTICED THAT THE WEIGHT RATINGS OF THE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE FACTORY IS SPECIFYING THE TRAILER WEIGHS. THE TIRES ARE TRAILER KING ST225/75R15 WITH A MAX WEIGHT RATING OF 2,540LBS EACH. THE TRAILER HAS FOUR (4) WITH A DUAL AXLE SETUP. THESE ARE FACTORY ISSUED TIRES. THE GVWR OF THE TRAILER IS 10,500LBS WHICH CALCULATES AS 340LBS IN EXCESS OF THE TIRE CAPACITY. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING ALL THE TIRES ON THE TRAILER AS I CANNOT AFFORD A BLOW-OUT AND I THINK I'M ON THE PATH TO ONE WITH THESE TIRES. THERE WAS NO BLOW-OUT, SIMPLY AN IMMINENT TIRE FAILURE WHICH I BELIEVE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF INCORRECT/UNDERWEIGHT TIRE SELECTION BY KEYSTONE. *DT *TR *DT *TR
