The defect
Keystone RV Company (Keystone) is recalling certain 2019 Keystone Montana recreational trailers. The axles may have defective welds on the spindles, potentially resulting in a spindle and wheel assembly detaching from the axle.
The risk
If the spindle or wheel assembly detaches from the axle, it can affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the axle tag, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 14, 2019. Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 18-342.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
